The situation in Balochistan is no longer a simple security challenge. It involves violence on the ground, influence online, and a range of hidden networks working in different ways at the same time. In this environment, groups like the Baloch Yekjehti Committee are accused by security officials and analysts of providing narrative space and indirect facilitation that helps militant recruitment, especially by shaping selective stories and amplifying certain incidents while leaving out others.

According to security assessments, militant groups are using women and underage girls for operational purposes. These are not isolated incidents. They point towards a developing pattern that reflects a wider recruitment structure.

What makes the situation more serious is the way this process unfolds. It does not happen suddenly. It often begins with influence and gradual psychological grooming. Over time, ideas are shaped, trust is built, and in some cases individuals are drawn into operational roles. Social media and online communication channels play a major role in this process and often serve as the first point of contact.

From a security perspective, the involvement of women and minors is seen as a tactical choice aimed at bypassing security systems and creating maximum psychological impact. Such incidents are often designed to attract attention quickly and generate confusion in public response.

At the same time, there is a parallel struggle taking place in the digital space. Certain groups are accused of highlighting selective emotional stories while ignoring the broader context of recruitment and coercion. This creates a partial picture where only one side of the story becomes visible, while the underlying processes remain hidden.

There are also cases where claims about missing persons are circulated........
