QUETTA: The Awami National Party (ANP) has warned the Balochistan government that it would launch a countrywide protest if the party’s provincial information secretary, Asad Khan Achakzai, is not recovered immediately.
Asad Achakzai has been missing since October. He was travelling from the border town of Chaman to Quetta when unidentified people reportedly kidnapped him.
Some ANP leaders and a large number of party workers staged a protest demonstration here on Friday during which they demanded immediate recovery of the ANP leader. The protesters marched on different roads of the city and later gathered at Bacha Khan Chowk where party leaders, including senior vice president Ameer Haider Khan Hoti, general secretary Mian Iftikhar Hussain, Balochistan provincial president Asghar Khan Achakzai, engineer Zamarak Khan Piralizai and others spoke at length.
