According to BBC, there are many organizations demanding independence in Balochistan but Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) is the most powerful organization. The organization came into existence in the 70s but has increased its impact in the 21st century.
Bla wants to liberate Balochistan from the Pakistani government and China. He believes that he has the right to the resources of Balochistan. The Government of Pakistan included the Balochistan Liberation Army in the list of terrorist organizations in 2007.
