So on July 28, everyone, from all walks of life must unite and show the enemy (the Pakistani state) that the Baloch are united and stand strong. On that day, we will discuss and raise voices for all the issues being faced by the Baloch people and form a plan for the resolution of these issues."

Haq, in his message, further elaborated on the various issues faced by the Baloch community and stated that "The biggest issues currently faced by Balochistan today are, the ongoing Baloch genocide, enforced disappearance of Baloch individuals, the closure of our borders, the poor condition of our farmers, the severe unemployment of our fishermen community, rampant drugs supply chains spoiling our youth, the uncontrolled actions of death squads unleashed on the Baloch community, and the biggest one of them, is the handover of Balochistan to China under the guise of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)."

He further explained that China is trying to take control of Balochistan similar to what it had done with Sri Lanka. "Our land resources are being loaded in trucks and sent to Punjab province and several Baloch are being killed disguised as road accidents all these are just forms of Baloch Genocide and it is high time that we unite against the genocide that has been inflicted by the Pakistani state on our people" He added.

It is the national duty of every Baloch to prove their Balochism by ensuring their participation in Gwadar on July 28".
