QUETTA: Balochistan Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Longov said that Balochistan government had accepted most of the demands of Haq Do Tehreek (HDT) and there is no more justification for politics of agitation.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Home Minister said HDT had besieged the port city of Gwadar and the government has no option but to disperse the protestors.
Inspector General of Police Balochistan, Abdul Khaliq Shaikh accompanied the Home Minister during the press conference.
He noted that the Balochistan government made frequent and nonstop attempts to clear roads and disperse the protesters peacefully.
“HDT leadership had presented 42 demands,” he said, adding that the provincial government has accepted almost all the demands of the HDT.
“The protestors of the HDT tried to damage government property on Wednesday. When someone will challenge the writ of the government, the law will also come into action,” he asserted.
The Minister stressed that the future of Balochistan and our next generation is linked to the ongoing CPEC and other development projects in the city.
To a question, the minister said during the ongoing protest in Gwadar, the government has been showing patience for the last four days, as miscreants armed with heavy weapons were spoiling the peaceful environment.
The minister categorically contradicted the allegations of torture and arrest of women in Gwadar and said no such incident has taken place. Blaming the government for attacking female protesters is a deplorable attempt to gain political score, said the minister.
The minister requested the women and people of Gwadar not to be misguided by the miscreants and said the government is mindful of respecting women.
