Addressing a press conference at the Chief Minister Secretariat on Thursday, Member National Assembly from district Makran Zubaida Jalal, Mahjabeen Sheeran, Bushra Rind and others expressed serious concern over Karachi suicide bombing which claimed 4 lives including three Chinese nationals.
“Our norms and values never allow anyone to target teachers and foreign guests”, Zobaida Jalal, the former federal minister said. She said parents have to be extremely careful about their sons and daughters and protect them from enemies of Pakistan.
Women lawmakers mentioned that enemies of Pakistan under a preplanned conspiracy were provoking and brainwashing our youth to use them against Pakistan. “This is extremely condemnable in Baloch traditions”, Bushra Rind said. She urged all political parties to join hands and foil the conspiracies being hatched against country and nation.
The terrorist attack in Karachi by an outlawed organisation has been widely condemned in Quetta and other parts of Balochistan.
Zubaida Jalal informed that the husband of Shari Baloch has revealed that his wife was suffering from mental problem. According to our information this family is highly educated and there is no single missing person from the family Zobaida Jalal mentioned.
The ruling party’s women legislators said present government has determined to address the grievances of people of the province on a priority basis. For this purpose a number of development projects have been launched to improve socio-economic conditions of the masses.

“Such cowardly incidents can not harm historic and time tested relations between Pakistan and China”, Mr Bizenjo concluded in the video.
