New Delhi, Dec 17 : Victimised for decades by one regime after another, the people of Balochistan province in Pakistan have stepped up their protest against the Imran Khan governments latest move to fence the port city of Gwadar in the name of security. The south-western city, leased to the China Overseas Port Holding Company for 40 years as a Long Term Plan (LTP) for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), not only serves as a port of exit for minerals from Balochistan but is also of a great strategic interest to China under its ambitious and expansionist Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project.
