Imran Khan Now Wants to Talk to Baloch Separatists who are Being "Used by India"

So you guys got this problem too huh?

I hope we (Iran & Pakistan) have some sort of joint-intelligence center for this region.

Bhai jan ap he tu iss kay zimmedar ho.Ab zyada naik na bano.
 
Some education camps based on the Chinese model needs to be put up after a swift military op.
I have talked to many baloch students studying in universities in punjab and the capital, they think that balochistan accounts for 2/3 of Pakistan’s GDP and the rest of the provinces are looting its wealth while giving nothing to balochistan. Last time I checked balochistan recives billions from the federal budget. Yet they choose to elect corrupt politicians and then blame the rest pf pakistan? The cost of constructing a toad in balochistan is nearly double that of punjab( lack of water, electricity, vast expanses of emptiness and geography) yet the government still builds there.And when skilled labor is sent there to build for them they label them as punjabis and sindhis and kill them, I personally know a doctor who was killed there because he was a punjabi , he went there as part of an AID program to help give medical access free of cost to people and look how they repayed him.
Moral: You can’t change victim mentality and racism by talking or teach basic economics to people who think trillions of dollars worth of oil is pumped out of balochistan for lahore for free.
 
Nobody is against talking

Talk but talk from position of strength

The recent attitude of Pakistani state in Balochistan has shown weakness and such offers of talks is only going to embolden terrorists

Beat BLA militarily and then talk. We all would appreciate it
At this time, the Baloch insurgents are at their weakest. They have been beaten back. All they can do is carry out isolated suicide attacks on soft targets. Which is something no state can completely stop. If the state were able to put a complete stop to insurgent violence, then there would be nothing to talk about anyway.

In the past few years, there have been a number of developments:
  1. Pakistan has almost completed the fencing on the Afghan side, and will complete the fencing on the Iranian border soon
  2. Developments in Afghanistan, and the closure of Indian "consulates" on the Afghan border means that the insurgents are cut off from their handlers
  3. Pakistan's relations and coordination with Iran has improved. More importantly, Iran's relations with China have improved, at the expense of India. So the insurgents do not have a safe haven in Iran either.
  4. CPEC and non-CPEC related development projects in Balochistan have increased. As a result, there is a greater military and paramilitary presence in the province.
All of this to say that the insurgents are running out of options, and should the Pakistani state decide to talk to them, they would be doing so from a position of strength.
 
Nothing wrong to talk to them, they are after all misguided Pakistanis at the end of the day...

BUT talks should only be from a strong position of strength.

Please dont make ignorant statements like this. They carry out attacks daily and are not at their weakest, they receive millions of dollars from India including equipment and what not.

Do you disagree with any of the four points I made?
 
Talks are offered only to those who surrenders to State unconditionally. Since we are talking about proxies, there are only two options... either offer them more than their current employer or destroy them. May be such indication is given to those interested to get back to normalcy. But, if we are expecting proxies to surrender, we have an example of TTP in front of us.
 
Ordinarily such statements are detrimental to national security but we have established that some people are above the law in Pakistan.

A political government has no constitutional right to award amnesty in matters of national security.

TLP should declare any such advocacy as heresy.
