00:00Mir sahib, tell me one thing, on one hand, there is a demand that we need freedom.

00:05The secessionist groups say that we will free Balochistan.

00:08That is one extreme.

00:10On the other hand, you say that whatever slogan you put up, we will crush it.

00:14Absolutely right, that will be an extreme reaction.

00:18If I ask you what you can offer in a dialogue,

00:22because as the General said,

00:24that the weapons will be thrown, then,

00:26he read the verse, then we can talk to them.

00:29But to come to that step,

00:31something will be seen, right?

00:33Tell me, what is on offer right now?

00:35I genuinely want to understand.

00:37What is the offer?

00:39This cannot be the offer that you throw weapons and then we will talk.

00:43No, no.

00:45Because there is one core group,

00:47those who are taking money from India,

00:49those who are taking money from the other Gulf states,

00:51you will have to kill them.

00:53That is a small percentage.

00:55The problem is that the problem has been mislead.

01:00Look, there are two things.

01:02One is those who you are calling violent.

01:05The other is those who are our students,

01:07our teachers, our intellectuals,

01:09our nationalists.

01:11Their integration towards the state of Pakistan is very important.

01:14That has happened through dialogue.

01:16Now we are doing that dialogue.

01:18I am going to the universities, I am meeting the children,

01:20children come to meet me,

01:22youth come, we are promoting meritocracy.

01:24So that that group,

01:26which has gone into the popular narrative,

01:28can be reintegrated with the state.

01:30That is our dialogue.

01:32This is a daily dialogue.

01:34It is not like a person is standing there,

01:36you go and talk to him and tell him.

01:38What is there to offer?

01:40Look, our nationalist politics,

01:42when it started in the 70s or before that,

01:44they were asking about the provincial autonomy.

01:46Now, provincial autonomy,

01:48after the 18th amendment,

01:50their demands, if you read old newspapers,

01:52if you see old statements,

01:54provinces have got it after the 18th amendment.

01:56Yes, dialogue can be done

01:58on how to do the next election reforms.

02:00Dialogue can be done

02:02on fair and free elections.

02:04Now, in free and fair elections,

02:06it should also be that those people,

02:08for example,

02:10I will give you an example.

02:12We had a candidate in the south.

02:14He was under so many threats

02:16to give his manifesto

02:18to his campaign

02:20He was under so many threats

02:22that he could not go.

02:24He was under the threat

02:26that the separatists would kill him.

02:28So, was it free and fair

02:30that when we could not give him

02:32this opportunity,

02:34the state or the government

02:36convinced their voters.

02:38So, it is a very tricky subject.

02:40I think that the state or the government

02:42should pay the most attention

02:44to their youth.

02:46The youth need to engage

02:48in meritocracy and baritocracy.
