Violent clashes between Punjabi and Pashtun Student Councils at Quaid-e-Azam University, firing scenes, and hostel burning reported

Monitoring Desk: The killing of 20 innocent laborers who were working at Junaid Coal company mines in the Dukki area of Balochistan again testified that the state has to come out of slumber and must take unusual actions to deal with usual circumstances.

It is pertinent to mention that terrorists equipped with rocket launchers killed 20 miners and injured another seven on the night of Thursday-Friday, they gathered the workers together and opened fire.

Police sources confirmed that terrorists also destroyed the mining machinery. Among the dead workers, 2 belonged to Pishin, 2 belonged to Qila Saifullah, 1 belonged to Kuchlak and 3 belonged to Afghanistan and the majority of the dead workers were Pashtuns. This attack shows that not only Punjabis but also Pashtuns are being targeted in Balochistan and there is irrefutable evidence of India’s involvement in supporting and financing terrorists in Balochistan.

“The agenda of terrorists is not to represent the Baloch nation but to stop the development of Balochistan through terrorism. The attack on the coal mine also shows that the terrorists have direct support from the intelligence agencies of the enemy countries. It is clear that the terrorism spread in Balochistan is based on race and language, which aims to push Balochistan into anarchy. The attack in Baluchistan and the media frenzy after the attack is a clear proof of India’s interference in Pakistan. India’s objective is to stop the development of Pakistan and Balochistan. The time has come for the entire nation to stand together against the menace of terrorism”, said a police official who served in the area.

He added the state is still busy in conversation about whether terrorists should be tried in A court or B court while terrorists are killing people almost every passing day because the confusion of the state for dealing with terrorism is clear and only people in uniform (Police, paramilitary forces, Pakistan Army) are fighting and facing the brunt while judiciary and the civil administration are lagging to manage trial of the cases and this situation is enhancing the morale of terrorists as they would ever be arrested would get bails from the courts.
