@Ali Mardan: This time people of that ethnicity were targeted which are in majority in Punjab so we did not see any condemnation actually by any party of Balochistan. For some people hatred against one Ethnicity of Punjab is so immense that according to them victims will be in Hell rather than in Heaven after they will be murdered.
