Baloch leader for Indian citizenship |
Geo News of Pakistan has reported that Baloch leader Brahumdagh Bugti, currently in exile in Switzerland, is set to get Indian citizenship after long negotiations with Indian authorities.India will also give citizenship to Brahumdagh`s key lieutenants in Switzerland, including his trusted aides, Sher Muhammad Bugti and Azizullah Bugti. Brahumdagh is founder of the Baloch Republican Party (BRP), that Pakistan has outlawed. Brahumdagh has alleged that the Swiss government is under pressure from Pakistan to not grant him citizenship. He realized earlier this year, the report says, that he may not get a Swiss passport any time soon and could be confined in Switzerland for an indefinite period of time.The Baloch leader fled his hometown Dera Bugti in Balochistan in 2006 following the assassination of his grandfather Akbar Bugti. He lived in Afghanistan as a state guest, first, and was then flown from there to Switzerland in October 2010. He has been living there ever since, in political asylum, with his family.
