I'm aware of that, they seem get along very well with Sindhis though. I've heard Baloch nationalists even claim that Dera Ghazi Khan and Jacobad and other south Punjabi cities as part of Balochistan. I don't think they will succeed because Saraiki Baloch are pretty integrated and I think they identify as Pakistani first much like Saraiki Pashtuns.
Some districts of south punjab are seraiki baloch dominated but as I said baloch nationalist parties don't care about language. They have near 0 chance of winning any seat in south punjab but my point was they don't mind trying. Though in Sindh where baloch are much more in numbers, they don't go there because dynamics are completely different. There sindh baloch are in to sindhi nationalism.
ANP on the other hand are pashto nationalists instead of ethnic pashtun . They don't have much of choice because otherwise they will alienate good part of pashto speakers who are not really pashtuns. They don't care about Mianwali pashtuns or other ethnic pashtuns who no longer speak pashto like in hazara division. I remember ANP Karachi leader who's syed and by default not pashtun. He used to make fun of Imran Khan for being fake pathan on tv channels even though IK is ethnic Niazi pashtun but not pashto speaker.
