In this regard, Dr. Baloch also reached out to the Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, Chief Minister of Balochistan, Mir Sarfaraz Bugti, and Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, urging them to prioritize peaceful negotiations.
Dr. Baloch expressed concerns that unresolved issues through dialogue could lead to further complications and warned against the use of force, which would exacerbate tensions. He highlighted the importance of the government showing patience and addressing the issues through negotiations with the Baloch Solidarity Committee (BSC).
