Girl refuses to return home till missing father returns

QUETTA, April 22: A five-year-old girl has said she will not go back to her home in Khuzdar district from a protest camp in Quetta till her father, who went missing about two years ago, returns.

Dr Din Mohammad, who serves in a government hospital in Wurnach town of Khuzdar district, went missing on June 28, 2009.
Speaking at a press conference organised by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) at a hunger strike vamp here on Friday, Malab Baloch alleged that a spy agency was behind the kidnapping of her father.

Malab said she was least interested in going home or continuing her studies in the absence of her father.

She appealed to Justice Javed Iqbal of the Supreme Court to fulfil the promise to recover her father.

Malab, a student of fifth class, said her family had nominated the intelligence agency in the FIR at the Wurnach police station for kidnapping her father.

She said the Supreme Court judge had held out the assurance during the hearing of a petition in Islamabad that her father would be traced. She appealed to the court to expedite the process.

Malab said that her family was deeply perturbed over her father’s disappearance and it was the responsibility of the government and the court to recover the missing persons.

VBMP chairman Nasrullah Bungulzai and other members of Malab’s family were present on the occasion.

QUETTA: Gunmen killed a Nato supply truck driver on Friday after opening fire on a convoy heading to Afghanistan from Pakistan’s troubled southwest, officials said.

An unknown number of attackers on motorcycles signalled for the convoy to stop and opened fire after drivers ignored them, before the gunmen fled the scene, local official Mohammad Azam told AFP.

The incident took place in Baghbana town of Khuzdar district, 250 kilometres south of Quetta, the main city of Balochistan province, Azam said.

“A driver of one Nato supply truck was killed, all other drivers and their helpers remained safe,” he said by telephone.

Nato supply trucks and oil tankers are targets of frequent attacks blamed on insurgents attempting to disrupt supplies for more than 130,000 international troops fighting in Afghanistan.

Most supplies and equipment required by coalition troops in Afghanistan are shipped through neighbouring Pakistan, although US troops increasingly use alternative routes through Central Asia.

PPP Senators join opposition walkout

Not even a single minister was present in the house at the time of the walkout, leaving only three ruling party senators in the upper house — Leader of the House Nayyar Hussain Bokhari, Sughra Imam and Sabir Baloch. — File Photo

ISLAMABAD: The Senate witnessed unprecedented scenes on Saturday when senators from all political parties, including the ruling Pakistan People’s Party, staged a token walkout in protest against the absence of federal ministers from the proceedings.

Not even a single minister was present in the house at the time of the walkout, leaving only three ruling party senators in the upper house — Leader of the House Nayyar Hussain Bokhari, Sughra Imam and Sabir Baloch.

Deputy Parliamentary Leader of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haidri spearheaded the move by observing that no minister was available to respond to questions of public importance, including the recent increase in prices of petroleum products, loadshedding and ,doctors’ strike,.

Announcing the walkout from the house he appealed to other political parties to join his party in the protest against lack of interest in the proceedings by the ministers. The appeal evoked a positive response and a collective walkout was staged by members from the treasury and opposition benches, forcing Chairman Farooq H. Naek to adjourn the proceedings for 15 minutes.

Another distinct feature of the proceedings was that almost all the house business was conducted through points of order. Even a discussion on the presidential address to the joint session of parliament which has been on the agenda for three days could not commence and it was decided that the issue would be discussed on Tuesday evening.

The issue of doctors’ strike and loadshedding and water scarcity in 16 districts of Balochistan dominated the proceedings.

Chairperson of the Senate’s Standing Committee on Health Kulsum Parveen said that all members of the committee had visited the Polyclinic Hospital for two consecutive days and found that 80 per cent of the protesting doctors’ demands were genuine.

Wasim Sajjad, Zafar Ali Shah, Abdul Ghaffar Qureshi, Shirala Malik, Mir Hasil Bizenjo and Abdul Rahim Mandokhel called for urgent steps to solve the problems of doctors. They were of the view that the coming generations would be averse to coming to the profession if the doctors’ demands were ignored.

One of the suggestions was to give incentives to the doctors willing to perform duties in rural areas by offering them double salaries.

Nayyar Bokhari said health was a provincial subject after the passage of the 18th Amendment. He expressed sympathy with the families whose dear ones had lost their lives because of non-availability of proper treatment.

He said the health secretary was negotiating with the doctors in the federal capital territory. He asked the house committee to formulate recommendations and promised that the issue would be resolved soon.

Hasil Bizenjo complained that there had been no water in 16 districts of Balochistan from Pishin to Khuzdar for 22 days. He said it was playing havoc with crops, besides killing a number of cattle.

Ismael Buledi said Iran was ready to provide electricity for Turbat, Panjgur and Gwadar, but regretted that signing of an agreement in this regard was being delayed. He asked the water and power ministry to explain when a delegation would be sent to Iran to sign the agreement.

Abdul Rahim Mandokhel also raised the issue and said that an area of about 50,000 square miles was being affected because of water shortage caused by the long spell of power outage.

Nayyar Bokhari said that electricity and water problems in Balochistan were because of damage of a transmission line caused be a blast.

Farooq Naek termed it a serious issue and asked the leader of the house to ensure that the water and power ministry submits a detailed report on Tuesday.

Shahid Bugti alleged that hundreds of people had been killed in Balochistan over the past few months and mutilated bodies were being found daily, but Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had ignored the real threat and only said in the Senate on Friday that the government was trying to resolve the issue and he had taken Baloch leaders to India to watch the Cricket World Cup semi-final between Pakistan and India.

“Taking Baloch lawmakers to India will not solve the problem,” he remarked.
