Baluch nationalists through out the East Baluchistan have boycotted Pakistani media. The boycott mainly targeted print and broadcasted news channels.
According to the reports Baluch activists have stopped newsagents from selling Pakistani newspapers which have continuously been ignoring reports of Baluch suffering and army operations in Baluchistan against the nationalists.
The protest which is led by Baluch Students’ Organisation –Azad has also removed many TV news channels from being carried to homes via cable networks.
Any cable operator that didn’t co-operate with protestors has been threatened with dire consequences. Hence such channels are off the air in major towns and cities of Baluchistan since Monday 18 October 10. No Pakistani newspapers is being sold since then either.
