Pakistan’s security agencies are involved in extrajudicial killings in Balochistan, the province’s chief minister says.
Sardar Aslam Raisani told the BBC some of the political killings were “definitely” by security agencies.
Human rights organisations say kidnappings and murders of political dissidents are at an all-time high in the province.
Balochistan has been at the centre of a decade-long insurgency.
Pakistan’s security agencies have long denied extrajudicial killings.
Mr Raisani, an influential tribal leader, is a member of the country’s ruling Pakistan People’s Party, but anti-government feeling runs high among voters in Balochistan
Mr Mengal is said to be close to the rebels; his own son was held without charge for several months by security forces.
The opposition leader and other rebel leaders say the army has spilt too much blood for them to return.
He says they will settle for nothing less than independence from Pakistan.
^I disagree. The balochi people already hate Pakistani Fauj. Military action will be like adding fuel to the fire, it's a short-term solution. Besides, only normal and innocent people will die.
Azad Balochistan is an Indian dream, they support BLA and other terroristic organizations in Balochistan province. Don't worry, Allah (Subhana wa ta'ala) will protect Pakistan Insha'Allah.
Only when some real steps are taken...people of Balochistan will come to agreement......real steps would be slow n steady (honest) emanicipation of those people in their self governance......
