Protesters appeal to BHC chief justice to take suo motu notice of the murder

QUETTA: Angry protesters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Balochistan chapter on Friday protested against the target killing of their party worker Mirza Khan and demanded justice for his family.
The protesters, led by PTI Provincial General Secretary Qasim Khan Suri, chanted full-throated slogans against the target killing and demanded immediate arrest of the attackers outside the Quetta Press Club.
Abdul Bari Barraich, Dawood Khan, Khaliqdad Noorzai, Qasim Suri and other party leaders addressed the protesters.



“The police is busy in collecting bribes from citizens under the garb of ban on pillion riding, while target killers and dacoits are attacking innocent people,” said Suri.
He said Mirza Khan was looted and killed in broad daylight by unidentified dacoits.
“The provincial government and district administration have completely failed in maintaining law and order in Quetta,” he added.
The PTI leaders appealed to the chief justice of Balochistan High Court to take suo motu notice of the killing of the PTI worker and take the provincial government to task over negligence in restoring law and order.
“The government must arrest the dacoits involved in looting and killing of our worker Mirza Khan otherwise PTI Balochistan will intensify protests across the province,” they added.
