Missing Baloch

Published November 19, 2018

THE provincial and federal governments are not paying any heed to the issue of the missing Baloch. The families of missing persons have staged sit-ins over a long period, but their cases are still pending. They have knocked at the door of high courts and the Supreme Court but all in vain.

Recently, these families have come on the streets to know the whereabouts of the missing persons. They are asking the chief minister Jam Kamal Khan to visit the camp set up for missing persons.

I appeal to all concerned authorities to take notice of the issue.
