The Frontier Corps (FC) is involved in abduction of one out of every three Baloch men, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry said on Monday while hearing the Balochistan unrest case at the Supreme Court’s Quetta registry.
The chief justice said he had no answer to the grievances of common people regarding law and order in the province, which was why the apex court had been embarrassed. He directed the Balochistan Home Department to make payments to the families of 135 missing persons.
Provincial home minister, Mir Zafarullah Zehri, also presented himself before the court. The advocate general of Balochistan told the apex court that a gang of three people involved in the killings of religious scholars had been arrested, adding that four missing persons had also been recovered. Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said the recovery of only four missing persons showed the non-seriousness of the government.
He also asked the Balochistan interior secretary to state in writing that they had failed to control the law and order in the province. The Balochistan AG was of the view that nobody could state anything with 100 percent surety. During the hearing, DIG Operations Hamid Shakeel briefed the chief justice on the bomb attack on a bus of pilgrims in Hazarganji. The chief justice flayed the Customs department for such incidents, as they bribed the passengers from Kabul for allowing them to transit.
