ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has faced massive criticism for meeting the team members of the famous Turkish drama series ‘Ertugrul’ instead of meeting victim families of the Mach massacre in Quetta.
Several protesters have blocked Quetta’s key western bypass since Sunday after 11 coalminers belonging to the Hazara community were brutally executed by terrorists. The protesters and the victim family of the massacre, in this regard, demanded that the premier personally meets them.
