Balochistan has become a burning issue nowadays and it is echoing in every corner of our unfortunate republic. Who is responsible for making it this grave? Of course, it is our leaders who did not extend a helping hand to the suffering Baloch and the establishment that subjected them to many injustices and this led the people of Balochistan to reach a point of no return. It is we ourselves that have cut our own throat by taking wrong decisions.
The Balochis are deprived of all the basic facilities. One of two people lives below the line of poverty there. Despite having natural resources, the Balochis are still deprived of the basic amenities of life. While foreign powers like India and the US may have a hand in exacerbating the issue, but we need to realise that much of this mess is of our own making. It is high time that we should pick up the threads and ask from our friends to assist us in time of need. There is still time left to prevent our country from another grave misfortune.
