Baloch leader Brahumdagh Bugti announced his decision to file papers seeking asylum in India. The move comes at a time Pakistan is being cornered by India for its involvement in terrorist attacks, including terror strike in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir.

The Baloch Republican Party has also decided to file a case against China at International Court of Justice. It will also file criminal cases against Pakistani Army generals.

Bugti said that he has decided to formally file asylum papers to the Indian government. “We will start working on it right away. We will go to the Indian embassy and follow the legal process.”

Earlier, Brahumdagh Bugti said that, people of Balochistan were living in "very terrible conditions" and that the Baloch issue got more attention after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to the rights abuses there.
