Balochistan: a way out

Published November 30, 2012

TO tackle Balochistan’s problems, the federation must open talks with the real leaders of Balochistan.

Development and dialogue is the best option. The army should be withdrawn. The NFC Award and Haqooq-i-Balochistan should be urgently implemented.

All missing persons be released. Employment opportunities should be created to satisfy the unemployed youth.

Huge investment in small and medium-scale industries can provide employment opportunities.

Human resource development centres should be established at the union council level.

The federal and provincial governments should provide sufficient funds for education and healthcare sectors.

All the players of Balochistan must understand that Pakistan and Balochistan have no future at all if they are separated.

The solution based on justice and fair play is the only option for Balochistan problem.

Balochistan is bleeding. International players are taking advantage and covertly supporting the militants.

The dialogue is the only option for the permanent solution of Balochistan.

The present democratic people’s government has to win the hearts and minds of Baloch people to save the federation of Pakistan.
