The number of people killed in Saturday’s bombing in Hazara Town reached 91 when another man succumbed to his wounds at a hospital on Tuesday.
More than 150 injured are still being pronounced as critical while thousands of Hazaras including woman and children are staging a sit-in weathering the Quetta cold. They demand army deployment in Quetta to protect the lives and properties of Hazara people. Earleir, Sardar Saadat Ali Hazara, chief of the Hazara community, had announced that victims would be buried today at 10am. But the families of the victims refused to carry out the burial without implementation of their demands. Participants of the sit-in say a targeted operation must be conducted in Balochistan against elements involved in shedding blood of the innocent people.
“What is our fault?” they ask.
The mourning protesters say that state of the art treatment should be accorded to those injured in Kirani Road blast. While those wounded critically should be shifted to Karachi and other major cities
