QUETTA Sep 25 (PPI): Lawyers bodies in Baluchistan while terming August 8 incident as failure of security have announced two day boycotts of courts and protest demonstrations in front of provincial assembly, CM Secretariat and Press club and protest demonstrations in front of DC offices in all the districts of the province and organizing rallies. Strike would not only continue till arrest of accused and transparent inquiry but 5 member committee of senior lawyers has also been formed for raising the incident at country level.

This was announced by President Balochistan Bar Association Abdul Ghani Khiji, Secretary General Naseebullah Tareen, Vice President Balochistan High Court Bar Association Abdullah Kakar and others at a press conference here Sunday.

Lawyers said that no headway by government in office and administration about the incident is regrettable. Government has to take action immediately after the incident but over one moth has passed and Supreme Court took suo motto notice then government constituted judicial commission to sabotage this suo motto. We reject this and demand that full measures should be taken for arrest of accused.

They said if August 8 was the last incident we would show restraint but if more incidents are apprehended then government end involvement of unknown persons rather it is responsibility of the government to arrest such unknown persons and make them public.

If government is sincere for action against terrorists then it should take action under national Action Plan, lawyers would support in any movement.

They said a 15 member committee comprising senior lawyers has been constituted to run our movement in an effective manner.
