ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday directed all federal secretaries to pay monthly visits to Balochistan to monitor and resolve the problems of the people on a priority basis.
The prime minister took the decision to address the sense of deprivation in the people of Balochistan.
He asked the federal secretaries to resolve issues related to their ministries, divisions, and departments.
The secretaries in consultation with the Balochistan chief secretary will chalk out a programme and keep the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) informed in this regard.
Following their visits, the secretaries will send a detailed report regularly to the PMO.
There is no need for Imran Khan to do such plays about Balochistan. Everyone knows that only the army operates on such issues in Pakistan, not any politician, even if he is the Prime Minister of Pakistan. And what issues are Imran Khan talking about? Can he stop the targeted killings of the Baloch people that the Pakistani army executes? Can he stop the rape of Baloch women, which the Pakistan Army carries out? Can Imran Khan show courage to sack and punish those officers of the Pakistani army who are involved in the human rights violations of the Baloch people? If Imran Khan cannot do all this then he should not bother to send the secretaries. The sending of secretaries is not going to end the atrocities of the Pakistani army in Balochistan.
