Eight ‘settlers’ shot dead in Quetta firing incident

[aneeskhan]

QUETTA: Gunmen on motorcycles on Saturday shot dead eight men at a laundry in the restive southwestern city of Quetta, police said.
The gunmen were riding two motorcycles when they struck at the laundry in a busy area of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, before fleeing, they said.
“At least eight men were killed and another man was wounded,” senior police official Iskandar Tareen told AFP.
Initial investigations indicated that the victims were “settlers,” he said, referring to people who have settled in Balochistan but come from other provinces of Pakistan.
Police officer Salim Shahwani told Reuters that the victims were from Punjab province and were inside the laundry at the time of the attack.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, but Balochistan suffers from ethnic tensions, sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims and a separatist insurgency which also targets non-natives.
Small separatist groups in impoverished Balochistan often target Pakistanis from other parts of the country. The separatists want autonomy and a greater share of the money derived from the province’s natural resources like gas and oil.

If any one kills innocent persons anywhere in Pakistan, he must be killed on the spot.
No mercy for killers whether they belong to any province or any tribe.

This is nothing new, People of Baluchistan are since last 30 plus years fighting for there identity. Same for Sindh, same for Gilgit Baltistan and then there are a few more smaller fraction all trying to get a free hand on there identity, culture, religion and language.

If We all want to progress, we should give total rights to every one irrespective of what ever the cause be.

We cant afford to have an autonomous Pakistani Identity that relate to following ominous culture, language, or one Religious (sect) affiliation.
Are you guys getting my point?

It is very sad and melancholic on the death of innocent Pakistanies. Our secret agencies should do something.

This is a neked intervention in our country to create division and our people know this.

May Allah curse on such elements, Amean.
