The United States is misguiding and exploiting the Baloch people over their increasing sense of deprivation, Jamaat-e-Islami chief Munawar Hassan said on Sunday. Addressing a public meeting along with former party chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad and Deputy Chief Sirajul Haq, Hassan said continuous excesses against the Baloch were providing fuel to separatist movements in the province. He said the government was befooling the Baloch through reform “packages” and convening cabinet meetings in Quetta and now the United States had put the last nail in the coffin by supporting the separatists. The JI leaders said the MQM was a party of extortionists which was creating chaos and fear among the people through “body bags”.
