The federal government is considering army deployment in Quetta following strong demands by the Hazara Shia community in Balochistan, a private TV channel reported late on Saturday night.
According to the report, the federal government was also considering removing the government of Balochistan Chief Minister Aslam Raisani, who is currently in London, and is being severely criticised for failing to improve the security situation in the militancy infested province.
According to the channel, Raisani spoke to Balochistan Governor Zulfiqar Magsi on telephone from London and it is likely that he will resign from his position in the coming 24 hours. However, a spokesman of the Balochistan government rejected the TV channel’s claims that Raisani would step down voluntarily or be forced out from his position.
The channel said that the government was consulting with its legal hawks over the modalities of army deployment in Quetta, and claimed that it was likely that Quetta Corps Commander General Alam Khattak would be given charge of the city, which has seen massive bloodshed in the last couple of years.
The channel said that Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf was expected to make an announcement in this regard at any time.
Shame of Aslam Raisani for ignoring the situation in Blochistan for so long.
Mr Aslam Raisani is in London …. WTF …. Ppl r dying in quetta
We pray that may Allah S. W.T. Give strength and guide the Pak Army to protect the citizens and arrest those culprits who brain wash the people to carry out these type of killings.this brain washing is very dangerous.
The government still Mulling huh,thats what I call good time management,our rental PM took notice of the killings 38 hours too late,what a joke this government is.If the PPP wins the election again,then the people of Pakistan deserve this mess they are in.
Govt can do nothing even if it desires…Entire Baluchistan is in complete control of MI and ISI…civilian rulers of the province are like dummies…since nothing has been given in their control They live and enjoy official perks and priveleges. No civilian ruler will take interests in his duties if he is deprived of powers by top military agencies.
Nothing is true, These are all rumors in order to make the protesters feel that their demands are being fulfilled by the govt. I solute to the strength and patience of the protesters especially the ladies and the kids who are facing the challenges in this cold temperature with 80+ corpse .. But Allaas, The people and the Govt. of Pakistan are dummies. Who can't see anything. Down with you Shame on You, (The Current Pakistani Govt.)!!!
Mr Aslam Raisani is in London …. WTF …. Ppl r dying in quetta
