The problem doing journalism in Balochistan is that every party involved in the conflict practically wants to take over the media. They want to dictate. @KiyyaBaloch ’s journalism itself speaks for him. The abuse & threats he is receiving are highly condemnable. I stand with him.

Don’t do it what you are doing. This won’t solve the problem. It never has. Not anywhere. Neither you want it to be resolved. You have stooped to the lowest ebb. But this is not the way to do what you are doing or wanna do.
