The warning from Quetta

Hindustan Times  

For several decades, the situation in Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest and resource-rich but impoverished and least populated province, has been one of the foremost internal security challenges for the government in Islamabad. The suicide bombing at the railway station in the Balochistan capital of Quetta, which targeted army personnel and killed 26 people, is a pointer to the state of internal security in Pakistan. It is also significant that the devastating suicide bombing in Quetta came days after India cited security reasons for not sending its cricket team to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy. The Pakistan Cricket Board should consider the “hybrid” model so that the tournament is rescued – without India, the event will be a damp squib and the tournament’s financial viability could take a hit.
