QUETTA, June 27: Law- enforcement agencies have taken over a dozen suspects into custody in connection with Sunday’s rocket attack on the residence of Chief Minister Jam Mir Mohammad Yousuf in Kalat. “We have taken over a dozen suspects into custody,” a senior police officer said. A team of police officers is already interrogating the suspects.
Sources said that law-enforcement personnel had cordoned off a vast area and were following the tracks of vehicles used in the attack on the CM’s house.
“The situation will be clear soon as we will reach the culprits,” sources said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Jam Mir Mohammad Yousuf described the rocket attack at his Kalat residence as a “cowardly act” and said that such acts could not coerce him into backing down from the development of Balochistan.
“I will continue my efforts for the speedy development of Balochistan,” Jam Yousuf said. “Our traditions do not allow us to go against political and democratic values. We have to honour these values. If we will go against them, then the ‘chaddar and char dewari’ of anyone would not be protected tomorrow,” Chief Minister Jam Yousuf cautioned.
“I have no enmity with anybody, but have political differences concerning the development of Balochistan,” he said. At the same time he underscored the need for restricting these differences on a political level and not making them personal.
