Pakistan: Balochistan Politics In Crises

Pakistan: Balochistan Politics In Crises

BALOCHISTAN is the bellwether of Pakistan’s power politics.

The political instability that brews in that province is usually not confined there for long but spills over into the rest of the country as the first sign of an approaching national crisis.

 

So it is not surprising that some developments in Baluchistan’s politics that may appear irrelevant at the time can often turn out to be the first indication of possible differences in the overall political landscape.

 

How the PPP was forced to suspend its provincial government and declare governor’s rule in the province in 2013 or how the PML-N led coalition was voted out of power weeks before the Senate elections in 2018 are just two examples of how political dynamics in Balochistan can affect national politics.

 

The decision of PTI provincial chief and education minister Yar Mohammad Rind to resign from the Balochistan cabinet, citing differences with Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani, may not seem noteworthy at this time.

 

His resignation — the second after the local bodies minister resigned the cabinet a little over a month back — is, at best, a sign of an individual’s dissatisfaction with the Jam of Lasbela for interfering in his ministry or for not sharing development funds with him.
