GENEVA: Pakistan has strongly protested with Swiss authorities over ‘Free Balochistan’ posters being advertised in some parts of the country.

In a letter to the Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the United Nations, Pakistan raised the issue and called it ‘disrespectful and a direct attack on the sovereignty of Pakistan.’

“Pakistan has serious apprehensions on these posters and it is rather surprising to be put up in neutral country like Switzerland and it is totally unexpected and unacceptable,” Ambassador Farukh Amil, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to UN wrote in the letter.

The Pakistani representative urged the Swiss government to take immediate action against it.

The posters, published by a Swiss advertising agency and being put up by an organization named Balochistan House which is linked with Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), appeared in the area around Rue de Ferney of Grand Saconnex.

BLA has been declared a terrorist organization by Pakistan and its head, Brahamdagh Bugti, the grandson of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, has been declared ant-Pakistani and banned from coming to Pakistan.
