BNP accuses Pak govt. of killing Baloch activists
August 1st, 2010 - 5:24 pm ICT by ANIQuetta, Aug 1(ANI): Balochistan National Party (BNP) President Akhtar Mengal has accused the Pakistan government and its functionaries of carrying out target killings of Baloch leaders and activists.
Mengal said that BNP Secretary General Habib Jalib Baloch had been killed by those who believed that he was a hurdle in the way of their vested interests and evil designs.
“The state and its agents have deliberately created panic in Balochistan, but the BNP is not scared of anything, as the party has already scarified the lives of many of its leaders and workers,” The Daily Times quoted Mengal, as saying.
He also claimed that the party was enjoying complete support of the masses in all corners of the province.
“All party workers should keep eyes on the government and its agents because they can carry out attacks anytime,” he said.
Mengal further stressed for the need for a unified political front of all Baloch nationalists, saying that without unity and harmony, their struggle could not succeed. (ANI)
