QUETTA The Central Secretary-General of the Balochistan National Party Mengal claimed that none of the missing persons the government released as part of the Balochistan package have reached home, DawnNews reported.

 

Addressing a protest demonstration outside the Quetta Press Club, Habib Jalib said that the family members of the missing persons are still waiting for their loved ones to return.

 

The BNP Mengal staged a protest demonstration against the killing of Nouraiz Rind and demanded that the government arrest the culprits.

 

Jalib also refused to accept the Balochistan package saying that it undermined the identity of the Baloch people, and called it a hurdle to Baloch development.
