Pakistan might have achieved the Nuclear capability within 7 years of India carrying out its first Nuke, but its people, its citizens are burning in the nuke aftermath in Baloschistan.
On May 28 each year, Pakistan proudly celebrates “Youm-e-Takbir,” which translates as the “Day of Greatness,” to commemorate the country’s first successful detonation of nuclear devices. But the locals in Balochistan’s Chagai district, and citizens all across Balochistan, see May 28 as a “black day.” On May 28th, 1998 in the underground of Ras Koh hills in Chagai district of Balochistan province conducted 5 nuke bomb tests simultaneously. It has been 28 years to Pakistan’s military excellence, but at what expense?
Today #nukeaftermathinbalochistan is trending on the social media platform ‘X’. People can be seen sharing and posting the plague and suffering of Balochs.
A user named, ‘Mazar baloch’ called the nuclear test as the complete genocide of baloch.
Pakistan’s nuclear tests in Chagai caused significant environmental destruction and long-term health impacts. The effects will be felt by future generations,it is completely genocide of baloch
