As I said, Jundullah has been aided by the LeJ & the SSP for sectarian violence, & it is a Baloch nationalist movement as well. Baloch nationalists do not target only Punjabis, there is no tag on a person that says "I'm Punjabi", & "I'm non-Punjabi". Baloch nationalism is aimed at all non-Baloch ethnicities, & the government especially, who the Baloch nationals feel have "converted" Balochistan from a Baloch majority province, to a Pashtun majority one. The BLA/BLF are more secular than Jundullah of course. They target all non-Balochs equally without discrimination.
Statistics from last year's Pakistan security report:
As many as 737 attacks— including 614 by nationalist insurgents, 105 militant, 12 sectarian and two communal
What you said was valid if Jundullah was fighting against the Pakistani state, which is not the case.
BTW its a movement which is a Sunni org fighting against the Shia Iranians.And its composed of not only the Baloch but also others.
But my rebuttal was for you callling the Baloch nationalists (like BLA, BNP, BRA) being responsible for this. That is not the case.
Fine where does it say the Nationalist insurgents were behind the sectarian violence ? getting confused ?
What you said was valid if Jundullah was fighting against the Pakistani state, which is not the case.Its fighting against the Iranians only and hence out of the equation.

And no, again I have not heard the Baloch fighters targeting Sindhis or Pathans. They only hate the Punjabis viscerally. BTW there need not be any tag saying "I'm a Punjabi". But once you open your mouth the language acts like a tag.

Incidents of target killing of Punjabi and other non-Baloch settlers had first begun in Balochistan with the murder of Nawab Akbar Bugti in August 2006 and Mir Balach Marri in November 2007. Such killings have continued ever since. In 2010, however, not only was the number of such killings alarming, but their scope also spread to the districts of Noshki, Khuzdar, Mastung, Gwadar, Turbat and Kech.
Baloch insurgents and certain other groups generally targeted the poorer sections of society—such as barbers and tailors claiming that they were informers for intelligence agencies—or the more well-off Punjabi businessmen. On August 14, militants of Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) assassinated 16 ethnic Punjabis in two incidents of target killings in Bolan and Quetta districts. These incidents created further panic among the Punjabi settler community of Balochistan.
