Our Quetta correspondent adds: The Jafaria Alliance, Balochistan, has demanded setting up of a new tribunal comprising five Supreme Court judges to investigate the March 2 incident that claimed around 50 lives in Quetta.
Shia leaders have rejected the report of a Balochistan judicial tribunal led by Justice Akhtar Zaman Malghani. Speaking at a press conference here at the local press club, provincial alliance chief Allama Maqsood Ali Domki regretted that the provincial home minister did not give them the comprehensive report of the tribunal despite repeated requests.
