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.
