Qaseem Shah:Â
Quetta: A case has been registered against Balochistan National Party (BNP) leaders and workers at New Sariab Police Station for blocking the Quetta-Sibi National Highway.
The FIR was lodged by the SHO of New Sariab, naming key BNP figures, including Sajid Tareen Advocate, Agha Hassan Baloch (Central Information Secretary), Ahmed Nawaz Baloch (Human Rights Secretary), Musa Baloch, District President Ghulam Nabi Marri, and Ghulam Rasool Mengal, along with 45 to 50 workers.
BNP had earlier announced protest sit-ins on Balochistan’s highways. Reacting to the FIR, BNP Senior Vice President Sajid Tareen Advocate called it political victimization, accusing the establishment and the Sarfraz Bugti-led government of filing false cases against party leaders.
He further stated that BNP had faced similar cases during martial law, but its leadership and workers never backed down. According to him, if dictators’ cases failed to suppress BNP, the so-called puppet government will also not succeed.
