Activist Warns of Impending Meltdown » Capital News

Apr 9 – Prominent human rights activist Amjad Ayub Mirza has issued a grave warning about Pakistan’s deepening crisis, painting a grim outlook for its future. Mirza describes the nation hurtling towards a meltdown, citing widespread discontent and unrest across regions.

In Gilgit-Baltistan, protests surge as people demand basic rights encompassing economic, social, political, and human rights. Similarly, in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, a civil disobedience movement persists, with plans for a mass sit-in protest next month against electricity bills and additional charges.

Mirza reveals the dire situation in Balochistan, where university teachers and staff haven’t been paid for four months, sparking protests. The education system suffers as students lack academic books for three months, while the World Bank predicts ten million may fall into poverty.

In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the absence of an official border with Afghanistan leads to turmoil and attacks. Hostile relations with neighbouring countries exacerbate Pakistan’s isolation, with the recent attack on Chinese engineers near Dasu Dam straining ties with China.

Mirza has called for Pakistan’s balkanization to address grievances, emphasizing the urgent need for action to prevent collapse.
