Senator Abdur Rahim Mandokhel and Abdur Rahim Ziaratwal, parliamentary leaders of the party in Senate and the Balochistan assembly, respectively, and provincial president of the PMAP Abdur Rauf addressed the rally.
The protesters took out a procession, holding placards and banners inscribed with slogans against the government and secret agencies.
Speakers claimed that there party workers had been assassinated near a Frontier Corps’ checkpost on the Quetta-Chaman Highway, adding that the assailants had blocked the road for 10 minutes but the security forces allowed them to escape.
They said that the killers had gone towards Chaman, adding that there were a number of militia checkposts on the way but neither FC men nor the Levies had stopped the attackers.
They said that the party had been opposing the army rule since the Ayub Khan period.
