Can Pakistanis acknowledge and give Balochis same right of self-determination, which they want for people of Kashmir?
CA, US: This is with reference to Kamal Siddiqi’s article “Which way for Balochistan?” (October 1). Since 1947, Pakistan has been a great advocate of the right of self-determination of Kashmiris and has spent huge sums of money over the years for the sake of its stance on the Kashmir issue. Can Pakistanis acknowledge and give Balochis the same right of self-determination, which they want for the people of Kashmir? Pakistan should accord this right to Balochistsan first. Then it will have the moral right to demand the same in Kashmir.
