National discontent

Pakistan has witnessed a surge in protest rallies across various regions in recent months, indicating a growing sense of discontent among the populace. These rising trends of public grievances across regions serve as a clarion call for the state to introspect and reassess its approach to addressing the persisting issues. The state and its institutions must acknowledge that every region deserves treatment aligned with the principles of rights and dignity enshrined in the constitution.

History has shown that oppressive measures may provide temporary solutions but ultimately succumb to the power of public resistance. A glaring issue is the lack of consensus among Pakistan's people, with each region grappling with distinct problems. However, it is crucial for regional leadership to recognize that their issues are interconnected and can have a domino effect. Therefore, they must come together to build consensus and address their grievances with the state.
