Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, the acting prime minister, condemned “elements” that disseminated false information against the government in the wake of a police raid on Baloch families demonstrating in Islamabad over enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions.
During a news conference in Lahore on Monday, the prime minister made reference to criticism he had received from some sections of the media.
PM Kakar made it clear that groups supporting armed militants and terrorists while pretending to be in support of Baloch protestors will not be tolerated by the state.
The premier claimed that while the Baloch people supported the state, the issue of the demonstrators from that region was portrayed inaccurately and in stark contrast to reality.
He said that thousands of people in Balochistan have been killed by militias. He said that militants in Balochistan were being funded by the Indian espionage organization Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in an effort to disrupt the peace.
The prime minister gave assurances that neither terrorists nor those who assist them in disseminating their messages could be allowed to kill innocent people.
The prime minister declared that everyone has the right to protest within the bounds of the constitution and that there are no restrictions on the right to free speech. “Families are entitled to demonstrate in support of their departed loved ones, but some are simply making unjustified accusations.”
But the government won’t permit anyone to propagate the idea that terrorists and militants exist. The prime minister went on to say that answering back to people who criticize him on social media was not within his purview.
“Those who wish to assist them [armed militants] ought to align themselves with the militant groups who have declared terrorism as a movement,” he continued.
roughly 90,000 people have died in the war against terrorism, according to the acting prime minister, but only roughly nine of the accused have been found guilty to date.
According to the prime minister, the nation’s criminal justice system needed to be improved.
In response to a query, Prime Minister Kakar stated that he found it concerning that Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F), had his cars fired upon in Dera Ismail Khan.
He continued by saying that all of the government’s resources were being used to address security issues in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s southern regions.
He promised to use every tool at his disposal, including the security apparatus, to make sure that the general elections are held in a peaceful manner.
