Turbat incident

Published August 31, 2008

ON Aug 25 the FC made a big blunder by not letting the people of Turbat make the stage for the programme in remembrance of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti at the main Chowk.

Although PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has apologied to the Baloch , yet again the FC personnel didn't let the Baloch manage the programme.

This shows that the government doesn't want peace in Balochistan. After this incident, no Baloch will be willing to make any compromise with the government. Although the government had said that no such action would be taken without any orders from the federal government, the FC still went on with the same against the Baloch. Action must be taken against the FC and the government must apologise.
