ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry on Wednesday said that the law and order situation of Balochistan would not improve without Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani’s interest, DawnNews reported.
A three-member bench, headed by the chief justice, heard the case here.
The chief justice directed the concerned authorities to call a “Jirga” with collaborations of Sardar Ataullah Maingal, Khair Bakhsh Marri and other tribal leaders in order to resolve the issue.
Attorney General of Pakistan Maulvi Anwarul Haq, Advocate General Balochistan and Additional IG CID Shabir Shaikh appeared before the bench today.
During the course of hearing, the attorney general submitted a sealed report on behalf of Military Intelligence (MI) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) on the matter, in which the mentioned agencies pleaded for an in-camera briefing on court’s directives.
The additional IG CID submitted a detailed report on the murder of Domki family in Karachi.
The chief justice, in his remarks, said that the law and order situation in the province was worsening and dead bodies were found everyday. He said that the responsibility for maintaining peace in the area falls on the government.
He noted that even the security officials were not safe in the province. “Balochis are our own people and no one is outsider there,” he added.
Justice Khilji Arif, in his remarks, said that the Balochistan’s situation reminds us of 1971. “Statements won’t fix anything….practical implementation is needed to resolve the issue,” he added.
The court adjourned the hearing by declaring the additional IG CID immune to March 20.
