Kakar lashes out at supporters of Baloch protesters,
Punjab does not need funds,
Lahore/Islamabad(Mudassar Iqbal/Webdesk)_ Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Monday said that issue of Baloch families from Balochistan was being projected in negative and in sharp contrast to realities as Balochs were standing with the state of Pakistan.
Responding to different media queries during his visit to Business Facilitation Center, the prime minister said that terrorists and armed militants had been involved in the killing of people of Baluchistan. They were killing doctors, lawyers and teachers.
He reassured that the state would fight with them with all force as they could not be given license to kill people.
The prime minister, referring to criticism by a section of media, said that they were not fighting with the Baloch families and regretted that efforts were made to spread confusion and meddle things together.
The issue of families of Baloch’s had been blown out of proportion, he said, adding that these terrorists had been taking money and funding from RAW and killing people in the province.
The caretaker prime minister said that about 90,000 people had been killed in the fight against terrorism but hardly any nine accused had been convicted so far. The prime minister opined that the criminal justice system in the country required improvement.
To a question, he mentioned that there was no restriction on freedom of expression.
Replying to another question regarding an alleged firing incident in DI Khan over vehicles of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, chief of JUI-F, he said that it was alarming, adding that the government was responding to security threats in the southern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with all the available resources.
The caretaker prime minister said that all the resources and security apparatus would be utilised to ensure holding of peaceful polls on the election date and expressed the hope that they would be successful in this regard.
Punjab does not need funds, caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar said on Monday and added that the federal government would work together with the provincial government.
