Pakistan intentionally keeping away Baloch youths from education, alleges Brahumdagh Bugti
Quetta, Oct 25 (JEN): The president of Baloch Republican Party, Brahumdagh Bugti, has alleged that Pakistan is intentionally keeping Baloch youths from education.

Bugti, a harsh critic of Islamabad, took to Twitter to vent ire.

"Use of force against protesting Baloch students in Islamabad is another example of how the state wants to keep Baloch away from education," the renegading leader tweeted.

Calling it a 'well planned strategy to keep the Baloch population uneducated', he said, "The Pakistani state is is working on a well-planned strategy in #Balochistan to keep the people uneducated thus unaware of their rights."

"Dera Bugti district, for example, is turned into a military garrison for last 12 years. It has now the lowest literacy rate in Pakistan," he added.

Bugti is one of the most prominent voice claiming Balochistan's independence from Pakistan, which he regularly accuse of inflicting pain to his natives.
