Host Rabia Mehmood is joined by Khushal Khattak, a dedicated Pushtun rights activist associated with the National Democratic Movement (NDM). Despite internet challenges, Khan provides firsthand insights into the ongoing human rights struggle in Islamabad led by Baloch activists and the Women Human Rights Defenders Committee. Exploring the obstacles faced by protesters, such as the confiscation of sound systems and police-imposed restrictions, the discussion highlights the disparate treatment of activist groups and questions the authorities' use of force and patronizing demeanor. Khan also sheds light on the dismissive approach of the caretaker government, as ministers' condescending remarks and reluctance to acknowledge their lack of control over issues like enforced disappearances are revealed. The conversation takes a controversial turn, raising doubts about the justice behind the activists' struggle and contemplating the necessity of their rebellion for human rights. Despite the challenges, the unwavering commitment of the activists to their just cause is emphasized, urging heightened attention to events in Islamabad. #newwaveglobal #balochistan #baloch #islamabad #activism
