Dr. Baloch highlighted that, despite a few journalists reporting sincerely, she encountered notable animosity from others, whom she accused of acting as state agents while posing as Pakistani journalists. "During our three days in Islamabad, we faced nothing but hostility from those pretending to be journalists," Dr. Baloch remarked.
She intends to share these experiences of hostility with the Baloch nation, considering it an opportunity to reveal the true attitudes of Pakistani media personnel towards the Baloch people, rather than a cause for sorrow.
Why the western media is ignoring this long march protest.

This protest is about a nation being genocide (Baloch Nation).
Protest is led by a female leader ( Dr Mahrang Baloch ).

Dr. Baloch's criticism comes after
recent interactions with various media figures, including Gharida
Farooqi and a journalist from BOL TV. Protest participants in
Islamabad expressed frustration that these journalists, instead of
focusing on the core issues of the protest—enforced disappearances
and extrajudicial killings—shifted the focus to questioning why the
protesters did not condemn the killings of non-locals and security
forces in Balochistan.
Participants stressed that
maintaining peace and addressing the root causes of unrest in
Balochistan is the state's responsibility. They called on journalists
to hold the state accountable for its role in the Baloch genocide and
the issue of enforced disappearances, urging them to focus on these
critical matters rather than diverting attention away from them.
