Pakistan now faces an intensified information war targeting its unity and sovereignty. This hybrid assault, coordinated by Indian funding and Israeli platforms, aims to destabilize Balochistan through disinformation and separatist narratives.
At the center of this campaign is Mir Yar Baloch, a self-styled journalist who has recently aligned himself with controversial foreign entities. His affiliation with MEMRI’s “Balochistan Studies Project” has raised serious questions in Pakistan’s security and academic circles.
Foreign Platforms, Local Faces
The strategy is both calculated and dangerous. India provides financial support, Israel offers media platforms, and Mir Yar becomes the visible face pushing anti-Pakistan messaging. This is not mere opinion—it is weaponized rhetoric disguised as scholarship.
By promoting distorted views on Balochistan, Mir Yar helps foreign actors craft a narrative of repression and resistance. However, many of these claims lack credible evidence and are presented without context. This is not journalism or research; it’s agenda-driven propaganda.
Moreover, MEMRI’s known alignment with Israeli intelligence adds another layer of concern. Its “research projects” have often been accused of selectively presenting facts to serve political motives. Mir Yar’s involvement legitimizes such efforts and gives them a veneer of authenticity.
Pakistan Responds to Narrative Threat And Information War
Pakistani analysts and journalists have strongly condemned the move, calling it a direct threat to the country’s internal cohesion. Indeed, one security expert emphasized, “This isn’t just about Balochistan—it’s about creating cracks in national unity using digital and diplomatic tools.”
Moreover, the timing raises additional concerns. Currently, Pakistan is engaged in regional peace efforts and is actively rebuilding international alliances. As a result, hostile actors now appear to be shifting tactics. Instead of physical disruption, they are turning to narrative subversion to reignite unrest.
In response, authorities are calling for international accountability and increased scrutiny of foreign-funded information projects. Furthermore, they stress the urgent need for media literacy campaigns and stronger cyber defense mechanisms to counter narrative manipulation effectively.
In conclusion, the use of Baloch voices on foreign platforms is not accidental—it’s part of a sustained information war against Pakistan. As India and Israel deepen their strategic ties, their joint narrative strategies appear increasingly aligned—and dangerously effective.
