Balochistan Opposition and Dawn Warn Military-Only Response Is Failing; Call for Political Dialogue with Nationalist Stakeholders

As Prime Minister Shehbaz vows to press military operations in Balochistan, the provincial opposition and Pakistan's leading newspaper are warning that the security-first approach is not working.
