PTI leader Imran Khan has asked the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take suo-moto notice of the Shia killings in Baluchistan and Gilgit/Baltistan.
While addressing a press conference with a prominent Shia leader of the region Sheikh Jaffery, and the leader of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat Maulana Khalil in Skardu, he emphasized that the government has completely failed to maintain law and order in the region.
He said that the killing of 21 Shia passengers in a bus at Babusar pass was terrible tragedy, and a visible manifestation of complete failure by the government.
Khan said that the Chief Justice of Pakistan is taking suo moto of matters that are relatively trivial but not doing the same for sectarian killings. He said it is good that the Supreme Court is taking notice of government failures in other spheres but the matter of Shia killings requires its special consideration.
During the visit Khan made a special effort to promote sectarian harmony by contacting leaders of all sects and visiting them. He promised that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf would continue to raise its voice against terrorist organizations that are deliberately trying to create conflict in the country through sectarian murders.
