Meanwhile, provincial ministers Asim Kurd Gallo and Abdul Quddus Bizenjo have said that those involved in bloody game in Balochistan by worsening peace and brotherhood cannot be the well wishers of the province. Those killing their own brothers labelling them as Punjabis are neither loyal to Balochistan nor to the country.
They said that after attacking workers and ransacking their shops in Mekran, now the incident of killing passengers are extremely condemnable.
The government would deal with such accused with iron hands.
The ministers said Balochistan is the home of all those who are not inhabiting on its land for centuries, but they equally share good and bad of the province but certain elements wanted to put this peaceful house on fire through religious, national and ethnic prejudice which cannot be allowed at any cost.
