Karima, who studied psychology, had in 2016 recorded a video message for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Rakshabandhan seeking his support for the Baloch cause.
"On this day I have come to you and would like to say that we consider you as our brother. And we expect that you become the voice of Baloch genocide, war crimes in Balochistan, human rights violation in international forums and become the voice of those sisters whose brothers are missing," Karima had said in her message.
'Probe Karima's death'
Meanwhile, demand for a probe into Karima Baloch's suspicious death is gathering momentum in Canada. Hundreds of Baloch activists on social media played video clips of Karima's speech in Canada where she had raised an alarm about the Pakistani oppressors of Baloch people being settled in Canada accommodated by the Justin Trudeau government.
Many are also pointing towards Pakistani spy agency ISI being behind Karima's death.
