ANOTHER massacre near Ormara in Balochistan has taken the lives of 14 people. The terrorists shot them dead in cold blood. It is very obvious that the terrorists are out to harm all Pakistanis and are not targeting any particular tribe, sect or faith. The objective is to stop at all cost the prosperity that beckons all Pakistanis in the shape of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The important question begging an answer is how to enforce the state’s writ and eliminate the parasites that want to darken the bright future of 200 million plus Pakistanis.

The government must ensure the safety of all citizens as well as all the roads and routes in Balochistan and hunt down the perpetrators of this massacre. The nation has had enough of these traitors who are proxies of our enemies.

TERRORISTS rounded up 14 Pakistanis travelling on a bus on the Coastal Highway in the remote Ormara area of Balochistan, forced them to disembark and murdered them.

The federal and Balochistan governments should ensure that this is the last incident of its type and the terrorists and their backers and supporters are crushed with an iron hand.

BALOCHISTAN bleeds again. Terrorists have massacred 14 unarmed Pakistanis near Ormara in yet another atrocity.

The massacre is a question mark on the government and the security agencies which have failed to protect the lives and property of Pakistanis.

It is time Islamabad declared war on terrorists operating with impunity in Balochistan and wiped all of them out of existence.
