Talking on a point of order in the Balochistan Assembly, Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam’s (JUI-F) Sarwar Musakhail said that the FC had set up several check posts inside residential areas in Musakhail after a deadly attack that left 14 FC personnel killed on November 21.
“Establishment of check posts inside residences and open areas are creating problems for the women as they can not freely move in the area because of the heavy presence of FC personnel. We are a tribal society and strongly oppose such measures. Besides this, FC officials often hold meetings with tribal elders in Musakhail seeking their help to kill people belonging to the Marri tribe,” the Provincial Minister told the house.
He added that Marri and Musakhail tribes have strong brotherly relations and have respect for each other.
“The FC wants to kill people belonging to the Marri tribe and give an impression that people of Musakhail are backing the FC. We do not want confrontation with the Marri tribe as they are our brothers. Everyday some people throw dead bodies of Marri tribesmen in Musakhail area with the intention to create differences between the two tribes.”
The JUI-F Minister demanded the government to take up the issue with Inspector General FC Balochistan and resolve it amicably.

We respect our traditional brotherly relations with Pashtoons in Balochistan but staying silent on brutalities of FC is not less than supporting their unjust cause.
For once, the security state, please stop this.
