Leaders of the Balochistan National Party-Mengal have condemned the targeted killings and recovery of decomposed bodies of Baloch youths and political workers and demanded an immediate end to human rights violations in Balochistan. Addressing a protest demonstration outside the Quetta Press Club on Sunday, the Baloch leaders condemned the targeted killing of Waheed and Suleman Baloch, who were killed in Khuzdar a few days ago. The protesters included Sajid Tareen, Agha Hassan Advocate and Ghulam Rasool Mengal.
They alleged that both Balochistan Governor Nawab Zulfiqar Ali Magsi and Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani were equally responsible for military operation and excesses against Baloch people in the province. Addressing the protestors, the speakers said the atrocities against the Baloch people had further increased under the so-called democratic government. They said earlier, Baloch activists were being targeted, but now even children and women were not being spared.
Condemning the killing of political workers and dumping of bullet-riddled bodies of missing persons, they said the Baloch could not be deviated from their genuine struggle through such tactics.
They demanded humanitarian organisations take notice of human rights violation in Balochistan and stop excesses against the Baloch nation. The BNP-M also staged demonstrations in other towns of Balochistan, including Nushki, Khuzdar, Dera Murad Jamali, Sibi, Kalat, Mastung, Turbat and Gwadar.
