Ideology

The Party's leaders have criticized the Pakistani central and provincial government's decisions of having a “non-serious attitude” to Balochistan's many issues.[1][7] The Haq Do Tehreek focuses on the four main issues.

The Haq Do Tehreek leader Hidayat ur Rehman Baloch has openly protested against the government of China and Pakistan for their building of the Gwadar port as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.[9][7]

The party supports Baloch nationalism and advocates for a greater government focus on the issues of Balochistan.[1] The Haq Do Tehreek's main focus has been diverted to the port of Gwadar, where they have highly advocated for a halt to Illegal fishing and trawling, but they are mostly known for their stance against the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.[1]
