ISLAMABAD: 

A senator from Balochistan demanded a briefing over the government’s decision to ban non-governmental organisations (NGOs) on Tuesday, as answers were sought over the closure of Save the Children’s operations in the province.

“Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan should brief us about the decision [ban on NGOs]. We agree that NGOs working against the country’s interest should not be allowed. However there should not be discrimination in our province,” said Senator Muhammad Usman Khan Kakar of Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party.

Kakar complained against the interior minister, saying “he [Chaudhry Nisar] considers himself above this house, therefore, does not attend its proceedings.” He said that Save the Children had saved the lives of thousands of children and had offered jobs in Balochistan but its operations have been banned.
