o one in the media talks about the ethnic cleansing of punjabis in balochistan.No news anchor,no blogger,no NGO,no facebook or twitter activist condemns the deliberate targetting and murders of punjabis in balochistan.
All the anchors hold multiple talkshows on the missing persons and the plight of the baloch,but no anchor has ever done any show on the genocide of punjabis in balochistan.Hundreds of teachers,doctors,labourers have been deliberately killed because of their crime of being punjabi.No hashtags of genocide on twitter when the victims are punjabis?
Are punjabis not human? Don’t their deliberate murders merit condemnation?
Punjab has usurped the resources, jobs and even the lives of people of other provinces. This is a reaction to the injustices.
Punjab only has itself to blame. Stop controlling the country. Pakistan is not a JAGEER of punjabis.
yes balochs are very brave they cannot fight face to face they only target those persons who are without arms if you want freedom then go and kill army men but the thing is that you dont have the ability to do so
If you want to kill Punjabis them kill them in the battle field and i am telling you every Punjabi will turn into a Ranjit And Bhagat Singh. Pakhtoons and Baloch can only blame Punjabis for their own shortcomings and can only feel happy when innocent Punjabis are killed. I hope someday I will face you in the real battle field and then Real Punjabi will tell you what is meant to be a Punjabi.
