Islamabad: About 29 percent Pakistanis view Baluchi leaders followed by federal government at 27 percent should be blamed for insurgency in Balochistan.
The opinion is sharply divided between Federal Government (27%), Baluchi Leaders (29%) and foreign powers (27%) as all share it almost equally.
A nationally representative sample of men and women from across the four provinces was asked “In your opinion, who is more responsible for the unrest in Baluchistan and negative sentiments about central government?”
Responding to this, 29% said “Baluchi Leaders”, 27% said “Federal Government” and 27% said “Foreign Powers.” However, 17% did not give a response.
The study was released by Gilani foundation and carried out by Gallup Pakistan, the Pakistani affiliate of Gallup International. The recent survey was carried out among a sample of 2674 men and women in rural and urban areas of all four provinces of the country, during October 07, 2012 – October 13, 2012.
