Sawant expressed his views during a discussion on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act at an event in Goa. He stated that the creation of Balochistan from Pakistan would benefit India as it would act as a buffer state between India and Afghanistan. Sawant&#8217;s comments have sparked controversy and debate, with many questioning the feasibility and implications of such a move. Balochistan, a region in western Pakistan, has been the center of a separatist movement for many years, with groups seeking independence from Pakistan. The region has seen ongoing conflict and human rights violations, leading to calls for international intervention. Sawant&#8217;s remarks come at a time of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, with the two countries engaging in frequent border skirmishes. The Goa Chief Minister&#8217;s statement has drawn criticism from opposition parties and experts, who argue that such a proposal would have far-reaching consequences for regional stability. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Sawant&#8217;s comments will impact India&#8217;s foreign policy and relations with Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent statement, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant suggested that Pakistan may be split into two to form Balochistan.
