asghar Khan Achakzai | 13 years ago | Reply .Balochistan is in the grip of most notorious leadership. They are involved in kidnapping, land grabbing, looting public exchequer in the name of Sons of Soil. Everyone in the city knows who is behind kidnapping for ransom and which all parties are killing each other’s workers. Very recently a very senior doctor/surgeon was kidnapped. As the luck would have it, one of the kidnappers died while preparing his grenade. The dead body was identified and was handed over to the family at the behest of their gang leader. Maulana should gather guts and name the culprits.

Ashutosh pandey | 13 years ago | Reply The way things are moving in Baluchistan, one gets the feeling that the province does not consider itself to be a part of Pakistan. Leaders sitting in Islamabad must give priority to their nation

Civil society and Politicians must condemn the killings of innocent civilians, whether these killings are sectarian by terrorist outfits or killings of Baloch political activists by the state agents. Government should find an immediate and sustainable solution of issues in Balochistan as the province is drifting towards international political game. It is unfortunate that some of our religious and secular Political parties are keeping silence over these killings. Let me remind the quote of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S) on oppression: "Those who are silent when others are oppressed are guilty of oppression themselves.”

The issue of Balochistan is very sensitive and the if its not addressed asap it would surely go out of hands. Secular Baloch people have been and will always condemn any sort of attacks on religious minorities including Shia, Christian and Hindu brothers. We urge UN and Western countries to take action against Lashkar-e-Jangvi and other such organizations which are being backed by the master agency i.e.ISI to kill the innocent Shia people, since 2000 100s of Shias including teachers, politicians, civilians were killed and same goes for Baloch. Baloch are being abducted and then their dead bodies were found with tortured marks.
