Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar, the acting Prime Minister of neighboring country Pakistan, was seen losing his temper on the occasion of New Year.
During a press conference in Lahore on Monday, he criticized those elements who were supporting armed terrorists under the guise of supporting Baloch protesters.
PM Kakar’s anger can be gauged from the fact that in the 20 minutes of PC, he kept venting his anger on this issue for about 15 minutes.
PM Kakar stressed that the government will never accept those elements who are supporting militants and armed terrorists involved in the killing of people of Balochistan, including doctors, lawyers and teachers.
The Pak Prime Minister’s comments came during a press conference in Lahore as Baloch families protested in Balochistan against “extrajudicial killings” and enforced disappearances. Let us tell you that a few days ago Baloch had become a victim of police brutality in Islamabad.
Referring to criticism from a section of the media, the Pak PM said that the protest by Baloch families in Islamabad is being portrayed wrongly and contrary to the realities as the Baloch people stand with the state.
The Prime Minister said there is no restriction on freedom of expression and every citizen has the right to protest within constitutional limits. “The families of the victims have the right to protest for their loved ones but others are just making baseless criticism,” he said.
However, he said the state will not allow elements supporting extremists and terrorists and spreading their story to do so.
The Prime Minister said it was not his job to respond to those criticizing him on social media. “Those who want to support them (armed militants) should join the ranks of militant organizations that call terrorism a movement,” he said.
Kakar said that those who are trying to make a human rights issue over the use of water cannons against the protesters should also tell who is killing the common people in Balochistan.
He asked, “Who is involved in the armed rebellion against Pakistan? I am sure if these so called lawyers go to Balochistan they will also be killed but please, go and join BLF or BLA so that everyone knows where you stand.”
Kakar alleged that terrorists in Balochistan are getting funding from the Indian spy agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and they are killing people in Balochistan.
The caretaker prime minister said nearly 90,000 people have been killed in the fight against terrorism but barely nine accused have been convicted so far. Kakar said there is a need to reform the criminal justice system in the country.
