The Washington Group, in a press statement, has denounced a press conference by PPP leaders Sharjeel Memon and Murtaza Wahab on Balochistan. According to the Washington Group, PPP leaders’ press conference shows that the PPP can do anything to please the real rulers of Pakistan. Their only goal seems to be making B B Zardari acceptable as the new prime minister in the next hybrid govt. As the PPP minister read from the written statement, it was clear that the statement was prepared by the military powers that be. All available evidence shows that the statement was packed with lies. The truth is Shoaib Baloch was forcibly abducted by the death squads of the Pakistan Army several weeks ago and tortured to accept a crime he never committed.
The death squads of the Pakistan Army have forcibly abducted 1000s of innocent citizens – particularly from Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Pakistan Army and the govt denied he was in their illegal custody until the minister revealed it at the press conference because he had been forcibly abducted. The Shahbaz Sharif/Bilawal Bhutto govt in the centre and the PPP govt in Sindh are complicit in the Pakistan Army’s crimes against humanity. Washington Group strongly condemns Pakistan Army and Noon League/PPP Govts for their crimes against humanity.
Unfortunately, the statement has described political persons such as BNM ex- chairman Khalil Baloch as terrorists. For the death squads of the Pak Army, everyone who demands their political rights is a terrorist. Only DHA-lovers are peaceful, read the statement.
