Members of the opposition in the Senate on Monday expressed concern over alleged “disrespect” with which they said the body of Baloch rights activist Karima Baloch was treated before being laid to rest in her hometown in Balochistan.
Karima Baloch, who was also known as Karima Mehrab, had gone missing in Toronto’s downtown waterfront area last month and her body was found a day later. She was living in the Canadian city in exile for about five years.

NOWSHERA: The number of confirmed Covid-19 infected patients reached 1,719 as 32 more tested positive for the viral infection in the district on Saturday, officials said.
Deputy Commissioner Mir Raza Ozgan, District Health Officer Dr Gulman Shah and Dr Yaseen Khan said during a media briefing that the surge in the number of the coronavirus-infected patients continued as people were ignoring the standard operating procedures (SOPs) against the fast-spreading viral infection.
They said that 32 more suspected patients tested positive for the coronavirus that took the number of patients suffering from the viral infection to 1,719.
The officials added that 1,451 patients had recovered from the fatal infection in the district so far.
