BNM’s Ex Chairman Khalil Baloch said in a statement that “According to the recent report by the World Justice Project, Pakistan is the third worst country in the world in terms of law, justice and governance, which ranks 140 out of 142 countries. This troubling reality serves as a stark warning for investors who view Pakistan as a viable opportunity. The fact is that anyone investing in Pakistan risks their resources in a failed state plagued by unresolved national questions and internal contradictions, with pervasive instability and uncertainty.
He said “The law and order issue in Pakistan is not merely the result of crimes or minor incidents; it is a long-standing problem rooted in the Oppression of colonised nations and the denial of their fundamental rights. A movement for the liberation persists in Balochistan and Pakistan is making brutal attempts to vanquish it. Similarly, all regions in the so-called federation of Pakistan, except Punjab, face repression when they demand autonomy. Pakistan is using coercion to quell their aspirations for national rights, creating an ongoing state of conflict. In efforts to deflect, Pakistan has long framed these national conflicts as mere law and order issues.
He added “The report further highlights Pakistan’s poor performance in civil and criminal justice, basic rights, governance, and corruption. It highlights the state’s failure to meet the criteria of a responsible country, Reduced to a militarised establishment. The state is focused solely on exploitation and suppressing national movements. Investors are urged to consider not only Pakistan’s political and security situation but also the oppressed nations and their national movements within its borders. Investment in Pakistan effectively fuels aggression against these Nations Striving for Sovereignty. The crisis of law and order in Pakistan is neither temporary, factional, nor artificial; rather, it stems from deep-rooted national contradictions that no military solution can address. In light of these realities, true peace in Pakistan seems unattainable, making it a precarious ground for any serious investment.
