QUETTA: A senior leader of the Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-Mengal), Nawabzada Haji Lashkari Raisani, has suggested to form a ‘truth commission’ on the issue of missing persons.

He was addressing a news conference at a protest camp organised by families and friends of some missing persons on Sunday.

He criticised the government for allegedly not addressing the issue of missing persons. He claimed that nothing was being done for recovery of missing persons.

The BNP-Mengal leader said it was very unfortunate that Baloch mothers and sisters were sitting in a protest camp, but the government was not ready to address their issues. These women just wanted to know whereabouts of their loved ones, he added.

Mr Raisani said the truth commission should be formed under the supervision of the United Nations with the mandate to collect information and other details about missing persons.
