Recent developments in Balochistan have once again raised serious questions about fabricated protests and the elements involved in misleading young people. According to various reports and security sources, it has been claimed that Zarina Baloch—who had been participating in protests under the banner of “missing persons”—was allegedly involved in planning a suicide attack. Although final conclusions can only be drawn after transparent investigations, the situation highlights a troubling reality: certain groups are exploiting young people, including women, for their own destructive agendas.
Another unfortunate aspect is that in such cases, criticism is often raised under the guise of cultural traditions when arrests are made or action is taken. However, when facts emerge that contradict their narrative, the same voices fall silent. The real question is: who will speak up for the honor, peace, and future of the community when such elements deliberately put young lives at risk? These actors are not only a threat to the state but also to Baloch society itself, as they manipulate vulnerable individuals and push them towards violence and self-destruction.
It is essential that every such incident undergo transparent investigation, while also countering the narrative that emotionally exploits young people, especially women. Combating extremism, ideological manipulation, and false protest narratives is only possible when society, political leadership, and media collectively adopt a responsible, fact-based approach.
