Baloch leaders have declared Balochistan's independence from Pakistan, sparking a social media wave under the banner 'Republic of Balochistan' on platform X. The declaration, led by activist Mir Yar Baloch, has drawn widespread attention, with many calling for international recognition of the move.
Mir Yar Baloch, a prominent Baloch activist, posted on X on May 9, stating, "A possible announcement soon should be done as the collapse of the terrorist Pakistan is near. We have claimed our independence and we request India to allow Balochistan's official office, and embassy in Delhi."
He also urged the United Nations to extend its support, saying, "We also ask the United Nations to recognise the independence of the Democratic Republic of Balochistan and call a meeting of all UN members to lend your support for recognition. There must be a release of billions of funds for currency, and passport printing."

A day later, Baloch shared images of locals in Balochistan holding banners supporting India-Baloch friendship, further cementing the movement's growing momentum.

"The people of the Democratic Republic of Balochistan come to show their full support to the people of Bharat. China is helping Pakistan, but Balochistan and its people are the government of Bharat," he posted, aligning the fledgling republic's aspirations with India.
In a more recent post, Baloch expressed solidarity with India's position on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), writing, "Breaking News: 14 May 2025 Balochistan fully supports the India decision of asking Pakistan to vacate PoK. The international community must urge Pakistan to immediately leave PoK to avoid another humiliation of surrender on its 93,000 army personnel in Dhaka."
He further warned that Pakistan's continued occupation of PoK could lead to severe consequences.
"India is capable of defeating Pakistan army and if Pakistan didn’t pay any heed then the only Pakistani greedy army generals must be held responsible for bloodshed because Islamabad is using PoK people as human shields," he wrote.
