The bill states that the Balochi people "have the right to self-determination and to their own sovereign country; and they should be afforded the opportunity to choose their own status." "The Balochis, like other nations of people, have an innate right to self-determination," says Rohrabacher. "The political and ethnic discrimination they suffer is tragic and made more so because America is financing and selling arms to their oppressors in Islamabad." Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Steve King (R-IA) have also signed on as original co-sponsors of the bill. Rep. Rohrabacher is Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
