QUETTA, Oct 15: Mir Sadiq Umrani, president of PPP’s Balochistan chapter, said on Monday that Chief Minister Mohammad Aslam Raisani should resign after a Supreme Court interim order stated that the provincial government had failed to establish the writ of law and curb target killings and kidnappings for ransom in the province.

Speaking at a press conference, he called for convening a session of the Balochistan assembly to elect a new provincial chief. It was the responsibility of the federal government and the provincial governor to implement court’s order, he added.

The provincial government, Mr Umrani said, had lost the credibility because of its failure to provide security to people, maintain law and order and control corruption. He advised the administration not to follow the chief minister’s orders because it would be tantamount to contempt of law.

Meanwhile, Saleem Ansari, chairman of the Human Rights Society (Balochistan chapter), demanded of the federal government to impose constitutional rule in the province keeping in view target killings, kidnappings for ransom and the issue of missing people.
