He criticized the authorities for their policies, saying that the government’s approach of exploiting Balochistan’s resources while neglecting its people is no longer acceptable.
Speaking to various delegations, journalists, and in a meeting, Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman held powerful institutions, the federal and provincial governments, and so-called rulers responsible for the province’s ongoing issues, including insecurity, unemployment, and poverty.
Mass Membership Campaign & Protest Plans

Lack of Action on Missing Persons
He strongly condemned the continued disappearance of individuals in Balochistan, stating that commissions are repeatedly formed but fail to deliver results. For every missing person recovered, ten more disappear,” he lamented, highlighting that families are now receiving mutilated bodies instead of justice.
Blame on Authorities for Economic Crisis
