MEMRI’s ‘Balochistan Studies Project’ exposed as part of anti-Pakistan campaign

ISLAMABAD: Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a Washington-based Think Tank, has launched the so-called ‘Balochistan Studies Project’ as a part of a broader campaign orchestrated by anti-Pakistan forces.

MEMRI, founded by a former Israeli Intelligence Officer, Yigal Carmon, launched the Balochistan Studies Project on June 12 and has Mir Yar Baloch as its Special Advisor.

The project shows clear indian involvement and is now backed by an Israeli think tank, both of which have a history of destabilizing actions in academic disguise.

Furthermore, it was learned that Mir Yar Baloch, a BLA supporter, is known for his anti-Pakistan rant and pro-Indian rhetoric.

The digital ghos, Mir Yar Baloch, is not a voice for the people of Balochistan; it is a carefully crafted persona in a sophisticated information war against Pakistan.

This entity, and the network supporting it, represents a textbook case of hybrid warfare designed to exploit national fault lines and undermine the state from within.

Mir Yar is believed to be an artificial identity, operated by foreign intelligence agencies like India’s RAW, masquerading under a Baloch name to hijack the narrative.

By declaring a fictitious “independence” during moments of national crisis, this account reveals its true purpose: to create chaos and serve the geopolitical agenda of Pakistan’s adversaries, not the interests of the Baloch people.

The appointment of this fake persona as a “Special Advisor” to MEMRI’s “Balochistan Studies Project” peels back another layer of the conspiracy against Pakistan.

MEMRI is not a neutral academic institution, but a Washington-based organization founded by former foreign intelligence officials to promote highly selective, partisan narratives that often align with the interests of states hostile to Pakistan.

Launching a “Balochistan Studies Project” is not about genuine research; it is about studying how to weaponize grievances and engineer the balkanization of Pakistan.

The Axis of Disinformation

The nexus is clear and undeniable: a BLA-supporting, anti-Pakistan persona, serving Indian interests, is given a veneer of academic legitimacy by a partisan foreign think tank. This is not a coincidence; it is a coordinated campaign.

Their shared objective is to bleed Pakistan by a thousand cuts, using ethnic and sectarian fiction as their weapon of choice. They don’t want to solve problems; they want to create and magnify them.

The real people of Balochistan desire peace, development, and prosperity as integrated citizens of Pakistan. They face challenges, which the state and its people are committed to resolving through dialogue and development.

The manufactured voices of foreign-sponsored terrorists and their digital mouthpieces like “Mir Yar Baloch” only seek to sabotage this progress. They thrive on conflict, not resolution.
