QUETTA: The prominent nationalist political party has formally distanced itself from Zubair Baloch, a militant figure accused of orchestrating violent activities in Balochistan.
The declaration indicates a rare and notable moment where nationalist political voices have publicly disassociated from individuals linked to militancy and extremism.
In this regard, the statement comes amid growing public debate over the role of certain militant leaders who have long been portrayed by some circles as victims or innocent actors.
In this sense, several political observers note that this public distancing may indicate a major shift in the region’s dynamics, where nationalist groups are increasingly under pressure to clarify their positions regarding militancy.
Furthermore, some of the analysts or experts have welcomed the move, describing it as “a positive step toward political maturity. In addition, the disassociation also sends a message to external and domestic actors who have long accused nationalist parties of tacitly supporting or sympathizing with militant elements.
Moreover, many see this as a hopeful sign for the future of political stability in Balochistan, questions remain about whether other groups will follow suit. The broader challenge lies in ensuring that this disavowal is translated into consistent political practice and not merely symbolic statements.
Meanwhile, this moment is seen as a turning point. For the first time, nationalist parties are openly declaring that militancy cannot be justified and that peace, dialogue, and democratic processes must form the foundation of political struggle.
