NATO-like defense agreement with Saudi, Turkey, mediation in Iran war, Dharram Muharram with Trump, all in all, Pakistan's foreign policy is considered to be quite good at the moment. But while the foreign policy attracted attention, Jinnah's Lanka was bruised from within. Reports say that Pakistan is currently on fire on four fronts. The fire has become so fierce that Shahbaz Sharif, Asim Munir are struggling to control it.
The BLA and TTP claim control over 85 percent of Pakistan's largest province, Balochistan, with tribal insurgencies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). In this situation, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has admitted that the state system has collapsed. Rumors are rife that army chief Field Marshal Asim Muni is preparing to take advantage of the unrest.
According to the IMF, corruption in the country is so serious that 5-6 percent of Pakistan's GDP is lost due to corruption alone. The army is the biggest businessman here.
first front, Balochistan
Balochistan is the largest of the four provinces of Pakistan. 44 percent of the entire country falls within this province. Balochistan became a part of Pakistan in 1948. Soon after this the Baloch leader Mir Karim Khan started a revolt. From there, this region is burning with unrest, Baloch took up arms in 1958-59, 1963-69, 1973-77. However, after the formation of 'Baloch Liberation Army' in 2000, the insurgency has reached its peak since 2005. Pak army is struggling to cope with this. The BLA is highly skilled in guerrilla warfare. Suicide attacks on Pakistan Army, trains and populated areas are their main weapons. The organization claims they have carried out more than 521 attacks in 2025. Where 1060 Pakistani soldiers died. At present the radical organization TTPO has also joined them. The report says that from January to July 2026, more than 765 violent attacks took place in Balochistan. Where more than 1600 people lost their lives. Baloch have their own army, navy, air force and police force. Where more than 5 lakh soldiers are employed.
second front, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or KP on the Afghan border is the second setting sun of Pakistan. The people of this tribal-dominated region are desperate to break the shackles of Pakistan. The radical outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is very active here. whose aim is to overthrow the government of Pakistan and establish Islamic rule in the region. From 2021 to 2026, 574 attacks have occurred here. 1196 people died. The seeds of conflict in the region were also planted during the British era. According to history, during the Partition, this region bordering Afghanistan was divided in such a way that the Pashtuns were divided into two. This Durand line is the root of the problem. Pashtuns demanded that they should be included in Afghanistan. But in reality it didn't happen.
Pakistan is also behind the origin of the extremist organization TTP in the region. When the Soviets entered Afghanistan in 1979, Pakistan trained Mujahideen in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with the help of America. They were the Taliban. After the departure of the Soviets, this Taliban expelled America and is now the ruler of Afghanistan. Meanwhile, all groups of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa formed TTP. They have now become the headache of Pakistan. The situation is so serious that Pakistan has to attack Afghanistan to fight TTP.
third front, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir
Citizens of Occupied Kashmir are vocal in their protest against continuous deprivation, army torture. It was in this situation that the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) was formed in Occupied Kashmir in 2023. This organization has started continuous movement for political and economic freedom. Even though the Shahbaz government tortures them endlessly, they cannot be suppressed in any way. According to JAAC, the number of seats in PoK is 53, out of which 12 seats are reserved. This reservation is for those who migrated from India to Pakistan during Partition. However, it is alleged that those who left POK and became residents of original Pakistan are also being given the opportunity to contest elections here. Pakistan government is doing political manipulation in these 12 constituencies. Apart from the demand for withdrawal of reservations, JAAC alleged that although Pakistan calls the region 'Azad Jammu and Kashmir' in the book, in reality its thread is in the hands of Islamabad. Pak government has kept them as bratya. Extreme corruption, mismanagement, inflation, poverty is swallowing POKK. Recently, there have been hundreds of deaths related to the election here.
Fourth Front, Financial distress and mismanagement
Apart from the terrible scale of insurgency in the three corners of Pakistan, the economic crisis has reached an extreme level in the whole of Pakistan. As a result of which the common people of the country are suffering. In places, anger against the government has reached its head. According to the report, one-third of Pakistan's population is below the poverty line. The whole country is in debt. The internal debt of the country is 58 lakh crore in Pakistani currency and the external debt is 23 lakh crore. That is, the total loan amount is 81 lakh crores. That is, the country's debt is higher than the Pakistani rupee. Pakistan has taken a loan from the IMF for the 24th time in 2024 to overcome the crisis. 277 per dollar of Pakistani currency. Petrol price is 330 taka, diesel is 380 taka. The price of rice has crossed 400 rupees per kilo. According to the IMF, corruption in the country is so serious that 5-6 percent of Pakistan's GDP is lost due to corruption alone. The army is the biggest businessman here. Everything from soap to gold is sold at Sena Market. Experts have expressed concern over the way the situation is progressing. Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that Pakistan's current governance system or 'governance model' has fundamentally failed. Citing severe economic crisis, chronic inflation and widespread unemployment, he spoke of the distance between the ruling elite and the frustrated young generation. He even feared that the government would fall. It is heard that the way the insurgency has reached its head in the whole country, there is fear of another military coup.
