In Quetta, the families of Hazara coal miners killed in an Islamic State attack last week have refused to bury the bodies, demanding a visit by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, and immediate action against the perpetrators.
Eleven coal miners were abducted and killed Saturday in a terror attack claimed by the Islamic State. The families of the miners have since been leading a sit-in demonstration with the bodies.
Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal visited the protest camp Wednesday and urged them to let go of their demand that they will only bury their relatives if Khan visits them. He also sought to assure the protesters that his government is working towards eradicating terrorism.
