Physical security of the Chinese residing and working in Pakistan has emerged as a legitimate concern, which the Pakistani authorities need to take into policy considerationDr Ejaz HussainJUNE 20, 2018Pakistan faces both internal and external security threats. The monster of modern terrorism, however, is a post-9/11 phenomenon. When General-cum-President Pervez Musharraf supported the US-led War on Terror (WoT) against the Taliban, the latter, in reaction, started targeting the Pakistani society and state. Resultantly, more than thirty thousand civilians and law enforcement officials have lost their lives in multiple acts of terrorism since 2003.

Qambar Malik Baloch/The Balochistan Post/The participation of public in general elections held in Balochistan since early 2000s, has to a great deal been influenced by the Baloch nationalists’ divide about taking part in the parliamentary institution of the state.A section of the Baloch nationalists parting its way from the then Parliamentary nationalist political parties denounced the participation of Baloch in the electoral process of the state as fatal to the Baloch cause of national salvation, whereas; on the other hand the Baloch political parties that have historically been involved in the parliamentary politics consider the abandonment of this mean of struggle as tantamount to negating the very principles of a national struggle for right to self determination.The basis of this divide are however debatable, and irrespective of the reasoning brought forth in this relation, a vigorous new debate has started about the importance of the upcoming general elections in Balochistan foll…
