Quaid’s statue destroyed in Gwadar
61
GWADAR: A statue of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was destroyed in a bomb attack here on Sunday.
The banned Baloch Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the bombing.
The statue was erected early this year at Marine Drive which is considered a safe zone. Official sources said some militants planted an explosive device beneath the statue and blew it up.
An official told Dawn that the statue was completely destroyed, adding that the nature of the blast was yet to be ascertained as the Bomb Disposal Squad would investigate the incident.

Seems to be yet another hateful, alarming, sinister, spooky, dark, dangerous and disturbing conspiracy spearheaded by racist, bigot, liar, prejudiced, wicked and biased Modi and his fascist, crooked, cunning, corrupt, cruel and criminal R.S.S. and BJP cronies, running aggressively in the corridors of power at Old and New Delhi since 2016.
