Another member, Asghar Ali, the President of the BNM's Germany Chapter, addressed the audience, stating, "It is our national duty to continue raising our voice against slavery. Pakistan occupied Balochistan on March 27, 1948, and Baloch people have endured untold miseries." He concluded, "For a more significant national cause, we must emerge from the confines of our homes and unite under a broader prism of national unity to rid ourselves of the slavery we've endured for the past 76 years."
While speaking to the press, Ali emphasised, "Balochistan has never been a part of Pakistan, and the world should acknowledge and accept this reality. The colonial rule of Pakistan will not endure. The Baloch nation has struggled with blood and sweat against Pakistani occupation, and our goal is a free Balochistan. We will not cease our efforts until we are liberated from Pakistani oppressive rule."
Shar Hassan, the Joint Secretary of the BNM's Germany Chapter, urged the German government to halt the supply of weapons to Pakistan. He stated, "The Pakistan Army has been using these weapons to kill innocent people in Balochistan."
