Kech — The ongoing sit-in protest in Kech has intensified concerns over law and order, with political leaders and civil society organizations sharply criticizing the Balochistan government for administrative failures and inadequate protection of citizens.
According to local reports, the protest has received support from Jamaat-e-Islami, the Doctors Association, and various social and professional groups. Participants have raised alarms over worsening security conditions, repeated incidents of unrest, and growing public anxiety across Kech district.
Addressing the protest gathering, former Chief Minister of Balochistan and National Party leader Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch stated that ensuring peace, safeguarding lives, and maintaining law and order are constitutional responsibilities of the state. He said the prevailing situation in Kech reflects serious governance and administrative shortcomings.
Protest leaders, including Maulana Haji Yaseen and Shah Nawaz, emphasized that demonstrators are exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. They warned that any harm to protesters would place direct responsibility on the state and its institutions, stressing that the movement is aimed at protecting public rights rather than creating instability.
Speakers highlighted that incidents of insecurity and administrative negligence have continued despite repeated assurances from the authorities. They claimed that commitments made by the provincial government to address public grievances in Kech have yet to be implemented.
The protesters urged the district administration and law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of demonstrators, protect public property, and avoid measures that could escalate tensions. They also called for meaningful dialogue to resolve long-standing issues faced by the people of Kech.
Political analysts note that the Kech sit-in has evolved into a broader challenge to governance, public safety, and transparency in the district. The situation has increased pressure on the provincial leadership to take concrete steps toward restoring public trust and ensuring stability.
The sit-in remains ongoing, while expectations are growing for negotiations between government representatives and protest leaders as public scrutiny continues to rise.
