QUETTA: Provincial Law Minister Agha Raza held a protest demonstration outside the Balochistan Assembly against the killing of two Hazara men in Quetta.
Two Hazara tribesmen, sitting inside their shop, were gunned down by unidentified terrorists near Jamaluddin Afghani Road on Saturday.
The incident sparked anger among the community being targeted by the sectarian groups for over a decade with demonstrations across the provincial capital. Where one protest is being staged outside the assembly, another is being held at the Quetta Press Club while a number of community members have also blocked the western bypass.
On Saturday, the Hazara Democratic Party (HDP) had blocked the Bacha Khan road to protest against the government and law enforcement agencies.
Meanwhile, civil rights activist Advocate Jalila Haider along with other Hazara community members set a hunger strike camp outside the press club.
The protesters were demanding full implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) to bust terrorist networks active in Balochistan. “We will not end our fasting till the visit of Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa,” the advocate demanded. The protesters, spread across the city, are demanding arrest of terrorists behind the attacks.
