Abstract

Social scientists believe that liberalism and its projects are one of the finest value systems of the modern world, which ceases the space for political creativity. The conduct of Pakistani liberal activists has changed drastically since October 7, particularly in how they interact when their interests are not at risk. Liberal-left declares Punjabis as an extension of the state, allegedly subjecting Balochistan to discrimination. This paper studies the directives of the liberal regime since October 7, taking a supposed stand with banned militant outfits, overlooking the violence against Punjabis in Balochistan.
