[DAWN] THE decision by Brahamdagh Bugti to seek political asylum in India is ominous; it is a dangerous twist to rising regional tensions. The move comes at a time when India has stepped up its aggressive rhetoric indicating it will exploit Pakistain’s "vulnerabilities" in the troubled Balochistan

province.

Brahamdagh and other Baloch separatist leaders have been living in exile in Europe for the past many years. His decision to move to India apparently came after the Swiss government rejected his request for asylum. Although there is nothing new about the Indian connection with the Baloch insurgency, the granting of asylum would in a way formalise New Delhi’s use of sub-conventional warfare to undermine the state of Pakistain.
