Former Supreme Court Bar Association president Asma Jahangir on Monday said time had come for the nation to decide whether they wanted a political leadership to hold the reigns of the country or a military leadership.

She said incidents of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance and throwing of mutilated bodies were still going on in Balochistan.

“We stand firm on our principled stance on Balochistan issue and we have raised forceful voice against persecutions in Balochistan. The country cannot be ruled at gunpoint and promotion of the democratic process is in the interest of national integrity,” she said.

“The Baloch are as patriotic as any other community living here. Practical steps should be taken to allay their concerns. The government has given the Baloch nationalists a chance to form government which is a positive step,” Asma added.

She said the May 11 polls proved that people were in the favour of a democratic system and that was the only reason they participated in the 2013 elections.

Balochistan Bar Association General Secretary Mir Attaullah Langho, renowned lawyers Ali Ahmed Kurd and Bilal Kasi were also present.

Asma concluded that the lawyers’ role had always been positive in the progress and development of the country.

    • She doesn't work to impress you nor hymn to attract you as per your demand.It is not Asma 's picture that makes you vomit but her words and her acts that disturb you as per your sayings.I am sure if her words would be copy pasted on Ashwairay roy , you would take no time to declare her ugly woman.
