ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan while refusing to go to Quetta before the burial of victims, said that no one could not blackmail the Prime Minister of any country like this.
“It is inappropriate to make a visit conditional on the burial of the dead,” the prime minister said. “Families should bury the martyrs, I guarantee to visit Quetta today,” he said.
He said that the Hazara community demanded that if the prime minister came, the bodies would be buried. All the demands of the Hazara community have been met. PM Imran Khan said the Hazara community has always been targeted. After 9/11, the Hazara community was persecuted.
The prime minister said that the incident was tragic and the workers were brutally killed. “India seeks to spread sectarianism in Pakistan,” the prime minister said. The enemy is conspiring to spread sectarianism. When the Mach tragedy took place, he directed the Home Minister to go to Quetta. The intelligence agencies have foiled the enemy’s conspiracy in recent days.

The victims said that they will not end their sit-in until PM Imran Khan arrives. Yesterday, he had also requested that the dead should be buried. “I will definitely come to meet the Hazara community,” he maintained.
