A young woman from Panjgur in Balochistan who has cut ties with Fitna al-Hindustan has described how the group allegedly recruited her. Speaking at a press conference alongside her parents after leaving the organisation, she said members contacted her on WhatsApp following the killing of her uncle and urged her to seek revenge.
She said she was later assigned to recruit other girls. She also claimed the group offered her the role of a fidayee, or suicide attacker, although she said she had wanted to join its so-called ‘Fateh Squad’. She alleged the group used misleading narratives to draw Baloch women and young people into its activities.

Bugti says foiled plot to attack Islamabad
Earlier in May, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti said security forces had foiled a major terror attack on Islamabad by arresting a would-be female suicide bomber in Balochistan. Addressing a press conference, he said the woman had been coerced into the attack by the Indian-sponsored Fitna Al-Hindustan.
Bugti said the woman had gone missing some time earlier, and intelligence reports later revealed she was being trained for a suicide mission. He claimed terrorists blackmailed her, threatening that her father would be killed if she refused. She was being transported from Turbat to Islamabad when security agencies arrested her, he said, adding that forces acted in time to foil the planned attack.
