During the hearing, the CJ expressed his discontent over how the police and frontier corps were dealing with crime.
Addressing the Inspector General Frontier Corps (FC), the chief justice said that they were here to support and help the police but if their names were included in abductions and people suspected them, it would be a huge problem in curbing crime.

god give some courage to CJ to ask the authorities (agencies) why they kidnape the people and kill them at their own. Azad Judiciary "my foot"
Maybe the supreme court should also give a little time and effort in capturing the murderers of the non-baloch civilians who have been deliberately targetted and killed in balochistan over the last decade.One sided justice is no justice. There should be justice for all.The killers of the hundreds of teachers,doctors,laborers,businessmen who were killed because they were non-baloch settlers in balochistan should also be brought to justice.The non-baloch civilians living in balochistan for many decades who were forced at gunpoint to flee balochistan and sell their homes and properties for pennies also deserve justice from the courts.
