Pakistan Opposition Leader Slams Govt Over Balochistan Violence, Cites 'Intelligence Failure'

  • Opposition leader Mehmood Achakzai criticized the Pakistani government for a "pure intelligence failure" regarding the ongoing violence in Balochistan.
  • Achakzai demanded accountability for the coordinated attacks and highlighted the government's responsibility for the health and safety of high-profile detainees, including Imran Khan.
