Terrorists labelled as 'missing persons' killed in Pakistan's strike on Iran, claims Jan Achakzai

[GEO.TV] Caretaker Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
Information Minister Jan Achakzai has claimed that those who were being labelled by Baloch protesters as "missing persons" were in fact "terrorists" and killed in Pakistain's recent strike inside Iran, Geo News reported.

Pakistain on Thursday launched strikes on terrorists’ hideouts inside Iran, in a retaliatory attack two days after Tehran violated the country’s illusory sovereignty by launching a strike in Balochistan that left two children dead and injured three girls.

In a statement, the Pakistain Army had said the hideouts used by terrorist bad boy organizations, namely Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), were successfully struck in an intelligence-based operation, code named — "Marg Bar Sarmachar".

Addressing a presser in Quetta today, Achakzai rebuked the demonstrators holding a sit-in protest against enforced disappearances in Islamabad. "Those who were being labelled as missing persons were faceless myrmidons [and] killed in Iran," he claimed while referring to Pakistain's strikes inside Iran.

He alleged that Mahrang Baloch, who is leading the protest, has been staging "drama" and defaming Pakistain under the guise of missing persons issue.

The provincial information minister said Baloch protesters were staging the sit-in in Islamabad for ulterior motives.

"They could disturb the law and order situation. In such a situation, it becomes impossible to stop a terror incident. Those wearing masks in the sit-in can be faceless myrmidons of banned outfits," he added.

He said the hostile intelligence agencies could target the protestors’ camp to blame Pakistain. It is not a judicial matter, the ongoing protest camp in Islamabad should be dealt with by the city administration, he said.

Citing the Iranian claim that it targeted Jaish ul Adl in Pakistain, Achakzai said no such organization existed in Pakistain.
