QUETTA, Aug 24: Nawabzada Talal Akbar Bugti, chief of his own faction of the Jamhoori Watan Party, has appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to impose a foreign travel ban on people involved in the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti.

Addressing a press conference at the Bugti House on Friday, he said that after the collapse of the present regime, the next elected government would have to try the president, prime minister, Balochistan governor and chief minister, Corps Commander Quetta and IGFC Balochistan.

He appealed to the apex court to direct the police station concerned to register an FIR against the killers of Nawab Bugti.

Mr Talal said people would not allow the killers to escape from the country because they were involved in killing innocent people in Balochistan, Waziristan, Wana and Bajaur and in the Lal Masjid operation and the May 12 bloodbath in Karachi.

“The next government will make them accountable before the court of law.”

Condemning attacks on settlers, he said the JWP would protect them because they were ‘locals’ of this province. He said Chaudhry Anand Lal, a minority trader, was missing but the government had taken no action to find him.

He alleged that the Dera Bugti administration was trying to transfer the property of the Hindu community in Dera Bugti to Mir Ahmadan Bugti who, according to Mr Talal, enjoyed the blessings of intelligence agencies.

He warned the administration that the illegal act would fuel tribal clash.

Mr Talal rejected official claims that Bugti tribesmen had returned to their homes in Dera Bugti and said that about 80,000 Bugtis, who had left their homes during the military operation, were living a miserable life in Dera Allahyar, Sibi, Bolan and the interior of Sindh.
