The Balochistan National Party (BNP) chief, Sardar Akhtar Mengal while addressing a public meeting on the occasion of the thirteenth anniversary of Benazir Bhutto at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh said that Benazir Bhutto started politics and was martyred during the dictatorship era.
He said that Benazir Bhutto was martyred while struggling for the restoration of democracy.
While referring to the Pakistani allegations on India for internal troubles, Akhtar Mengal asked that peoples’ houses were demolished, lands were seized, mothers and sisters were widowed; did the Indian Army do this?
Have the gunship helicopters in Balochistan come from neighbouring Iran to destroy our settlements? He added.
Addressing the public meeting, he said that the problem of missing persons has now increased in Sindh like Balochistan. There is not a single goth (town) here where someone has not been forcefully disappeared.
Akhtar Mengal told the public rally, referring to Karima Baloch, the former chairperson of BSO Azad, that she was killed in Canada last week after being abducted by Pakistani intelligence agencies.
He said that former dictator General Musharraf had said in an interview that we can kill them in foreign countries, and that is what happened. Now they say that Karima has committed suicide, the brave daughter who competed with you here cannot commit suicide, Mengal said.
“We sometimes call them space creatures and sometimes angels but their new name is satanic creatures,” he said.
He drew the attention of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Maryam Nawaz Sharif to the issue of fences and fishermen in Gwadar and said that this issue should now be raised on the platform of PDM.
