Islamabad: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar appeared in the Islamabad High Court in the case related to the recovery of Baloch students.
During the hearing, Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani while talking to the Caretaker Prime Minister said that have you seen the record that today is the 26th hearing, we are looking at the case only to the extent of Baloch students, it has been told that some are part of TTP.
According to him, some students have come home and some are being traced. Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani remarked that institutions are not above the law, you appeared in court and proved that you are also answerable to the law, enforced disappearance is a completely different matter, state institutions know how to run the country. But the people did not run the country by violating the rights. Caretaker Prime Minister said that we are working within the constitution, I am accountable according to the law, you called us, we have come, I belong to Balochistan and we are facing armed insurgency in Balochistan. Violations by non-stake actors are also recorded.
The Caretaker Prime Minister said that a former Chief Justice of Balochistan was martyred by these armed groups during Maghrib Namaz, and that Chief Justice headed an inquiry. It is not right to blame the entire state on the issue of enforced disappearance. The caretaker prime minister said in the court that people were killed on the roadside, but it is possible for someone to remember human rights, they are taken off the buses and killed, Chaudhry is shot, Gujar is shot, terrorism 90 thousand people have been martyred, non-stake actors are behind our lives in Balochistan, someone told me that how will you go to Balochistan. In Balochistan killings are done by ethnic profiling, why don’t speak out about non-stake actors killing people. The court remarked that this is undoubtedly a war, our army and institutions are fighting, the law is one and everyone has rights. The Caretaker Prime Minister said that the fight has been going on for 20 years, the Parliament will come and see it too, the state should be removed from the day-to-day allegations, we did not take up arms because the state has guaranteed our rights. The court remarked that no court is giving protection to a non-stakeholder. The Caretaker Prime Minister said that he will ask the incoming government to resolve legal and prosecution issues, saying that students should not be profiled on the basis of language, there are deficiencies and flaws in the system, if there is no evidence, how to punish whom? Allegations are made against military forces, counter-terrorism agencies. The Caretaker Prime Minister said that I am only explaining about the missing persons. It is not right to do. Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani remarked that the credit goes to the government for the successful steps taken in the recovery of the missing persons. are watching Caretaker Prime Minister said that action should be taken against whoever took such action. Lawyer Iman Mazari told the court that the impression that we are doing any propaganda against the state is not correct, we are also a part of the same state and we never support terrorism, this is for the families of the missing persons. It is very painful that when it comes to missing persons, the talk turns to terrorists.
