claims Jan Achakzai
QUETTA
Caretaker Balochistan Information Minister Jan Achakzai has claimed that those who were being labelled by Baloch protesters as “missing persons” were in fact “terrorists” and killed in Pakistan’s recent strike inside Iran, Geo News reported.
Pakistan on Thursday launched strikes on terrorists’ hideouts inside Iran, in a retaliatory attack two days after Tehran violated the country’s sovereignty by launching a strike in Balochistan that left two children dead and injured three girls.
In a statement, the Pakistan Army had said the hideouts used by terrorist militant organisations, namely Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), were successfully struck in an intelligence-based operation, code named — “Marg Bar Sarmachar”.
Addressing a press conference in Quetta today, Achakzai rebuked the demonstrators holding a sit-in protest against enforced disappearances in Islamabad. “Those who were being labelled as missing persons were terrorists [and] killed in Iran,” he claimed while referring to Pakistan’s strikes inside Iran.
