A week after one of the bloodiest massacres of innocent civilians in Balochistan prompted a wave of protests across Pakistan, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s latest choice of words has badly exposed his failure to grasp the reality.
“No premier of any country should be blackmailed like this,” remarked Khan on Friday in response to the protestors demanding his presence in Quetta before eleven corpses of Shia Hazara Muslims are finally laid to rest.
The protestors had put forward a largely innocent plea after years of recurring attacks on their community members. Any visitor to Quetta’s Behesht-e-Zainab cemetery will find it hard not to be emotionally touched or outraged, given the tragic accounts of the ‘Hazara’ martyrs noted on one tombstone after another across the sprawling ground. Widows and young orphans routinely assemble here every day notably on Thursdays to mourn their departed loved-ones. Across neighbourhoods such as Quetta’s Hazara town or th

Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed said Sunday that India is trying to damage Pakistan through its agents and funding.

LAHORE: The protesting organisations spread their Quetta Hazara protest sit-in to three more places in the city on Friday, causing serious traffic jams and panic in the city.
The sit-ins were extended to Imamia Colony Railway crossing on GT Road, Ferozepur Road near Chungi Amar Sidhu and Thokar Niaz Beg Multan Road, near Motorway exit.
The GT Road sit-in caused serious hurdles in the traffic coming to Lahore from northern side and also obstructed the railway traffic which caused several hours of delay in the departure and arrival of trains at Lahore station.
The Railway authorities apologized to the passengers for the delay and announced they were making arrangements for smooth running of trains. Besides, the protesters also choked the GT road, the main artery of traffic towards Lahore from the cities and towns on the north.
Pari Gul Tareen is the first woman in the history of Balochistan to be appointed Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) in Quetta. She was appointed to the post on Nov. 24.
Tareen who belongs to Balochistan’s Pishin area, was the first woman in the province to join the Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) after passing the Central Superior Services (CSS) exam in 2017. She came fourth in the examination in the province. She is the first in her family to have attended a university.
“It’s a great honor to be the first woman with this distinction, but it’s also a matter of grave concern that in the past 73 years no woman officer from Balochistan was inducted into the PSP,” said Tareen. “This speaks volumes of our social system, education standards and poor family support as far as education is concerned.”
