 Opposition members in the National Assembly protested on Thursday against the detention of Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed and relatives of Baloch nationalists, and asked why they had been detained without cause. On a point of order, the MMA's Liaquat Baloch said Hafiz Saeed is a known personality and the government should explain the reason for his arrest.
| Maybe because he's a known personality? |
The BNP's Abdul Rauf Mengal said that brothers of senators Sanaullah Baloch and Shahid Bugti were in detention. He also protested the alleged arrests of his party members by intelligence agencies and termed it a violation of human rights. NA Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain rejected Mengal's adjournment motion about the arrest of Senator Sanaullah Baloch's brothers and said that the Senate had already discussed the issue. |
