Pak govt declares Baloch terror groups, organizations as ‘Fitna al Hindustan’
See here for an example.
[PakExpressTribune] The new designation reflects “true nature and ideology” and “nefarious designs” backed by India, said notification

In a significant development, the federal government has officially designated all terrorist groups operating in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
as ’Fitna al Hindustan’, accusing India of sponsoring a proxy war through these outfits.
Like the Baloch Liberation Army, I imagine.
According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Interior on Saturday, the move stems from "the involvement of some organizations and groups in terrorist activities in Balochistan, which are detrimental to Islamic faith, the illusory sovereignty of Pakistain, and its customary traditions."

The notification further stated that the new designation is intended to reflect "the true nature and ideology" of these groups and their "nefarious designs" sponsored by India.

"All government entities are directed to start the above practice immediately," the notification said, underscoring a concerted effort to reframe the narrative around bad boy violence in the province.

The announcement came as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accused India of escalating indirect aggression after what he described as its defeat in a recent security operation dubbed "Marka-e-Haq".

Accusing India of intensifying a proxy terrorism campaign in Pakistain, particularly in Balochistan, he said, "India, after suffering strategic setbacks, has resorted to indirect aggression". "But Pakistain will thwart all such nefarious designs and stand resolute against Fitna al Hindustan and its proxies."

A day earlier, Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir had also addressed the ongoing unrest in Balochistan, stating that bad boy groups there were not indigenous but rather acting on behalf of foreign interests.

"These faceless myrmidons are not Baloch. They are agents of disruption sponsored by India," the army chief said, reiterating the armed forces’ stance that separatist violence in the province is externally instigated.

The government’s decision to adopt a new label for Balochistan-based bandidos bad boys mirrors a similar move last year, when the Tehrik-e-Taliban
...Arabic for students...
Pakistain (TTP) was officially designated "Fitna al-Khawarij".

At that time, the Ministry of Interior said the term "Khariji" was chosen to expose what it described as the TTP’s misrepresentation of Islam.
