Quetta: The Balochistan government has requested Supreme Court to direct foreign office and ministry of interior officials to contact neighboring countries to provide the list of detained people in an attempt to trace out missing persons.

Well-placed official sources told DawnNews that Balochistan government had failed to make any ground in the recovery of these individuals and thus sought out help from the federal government.

The Balochistan government claims that a large number of political workers fled to neighboring countries when former president General Pervez Musharraf launched a military operation in region. However, Baloch nationalist parties claim that thousands of political workers are languishing in torture cells of secret agencies.

Advocate General Balochistan Salahuddin Mengal told DawnNews that following the request of Balochistan government the apex court ordered Attorney General Anwar Mansoor Khan to nudge the foreign office and ministry of interior and submit a report in this regard by Wednesday.

Balochwarna believes that the powerless and rubber stamp government of Balochistan is trying to save themselves from public disgrace. Balochistan government has no power whatsoever to ask the notorious ISI and MI to produce the abducted Baloch to courts, that is why to cover up their failure they are claiming that missing person have fled to neighbouring countries. An earlier statement by Cheif minister of Balochistan Mr Aslam Raisani in which he said that most of the missing persons had “deliberately gone underground to malign the country’s intelligence agencies”, is proof of Balochistan government’s failure and powerlessness.
