'Control Balochistan Or Pack Up'—Rattled Gen Asim Munir Issues 72-Hour Ultimatum To Top Spies | Exclusive Reported By, Last Updated: July 10, 2026, 22:48 IST Top security sources say the Pakistan military is preparing to launch a massive, multi-front military offensive specifically targeting the BLA after facing pressure from Beijing With a zero-tolerance policy now declared, the imminent Balochistan operation represents a desperate, high-stakes gamble by General Munir to re-establish the fading writ of the state. File pic/Reuters In an extraordinary development that exposes the deep panic within Rawalpindi, Pakistan’s military and civilian leadership have finalised an aggressive, high-stakes action plan to counter the runaway security crisis in Balochistan. CNN-News18 has accessed exclusive details from a high-level Apex Committee meeting in Quetta, co-chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir. Confronted by catastrophic security lapses, a visibly rattled General Munir reportedly issued an uncompromising 72-hour ultimatum to his top military and intelligence commanders: “Control Balochistan or pack up." Top security sources reveal that the military establishment is now preparing to launch a massive, multi-front military offensive specifically targeting the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and its highly lethal suicide wing, the Majeed Brigade.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has assured absolute political backing and has guaranteed the immediate release of emergency funds to bankroll these extensive operations. The upcoming offensive will be accompanied by a sweeping administrative purge, with top Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) officials facing immediate relocation next week over systemic intelligence failures. The Chinese Ultimatum: Rawalpindi’s Ultimate Nightmare According to exclusive inputs obtained from top Indian intelligence sources, the unprecedented panic gripping the Pakistani high command is driven less by domestic instability and far more by intense, direct coercion from Beijing. Balochistan serves as the geostrategic spine of the multi-billion-dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), centring on the deep-sea port at Gwadar. Recent highly coordinated strikes by the BLA have systematically targeted Chinese engineering projects and killed Chinese nationals, exhausted Beijing’s diplomatic patience. Intelligence inputs indicate that China has delivered an explicit ultimatum to Islamabad: either completely secure the corridor immediately, or Beijing will freeze all future CPEC funding and demand the deployment of its own private security forces on Pakistani soil.
