Discrimination against Baloch
I think Baloch would be the last people in Pakistan who face discrimination.
Pakistanis have a bad habit. We cannot think above ethnicity. I am from Quetta. I have not seen the "Ethnics Differences" like in Quetta any where else in Pakistan. Mostly, Punjabi are at the receiving end. And in there dictionary, who ever is not Balochi is Punjabi (that includes Kashmiri and Urdu Speaking people as well)
