QUETTA: The Hazara Democratic Party (HDP) on Saturday called for the joint parliamentary session seeking a result-oriented discussion over the massacre of Hazara community in Quetta city, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.
The Prime Minister should summon the officials of secret agencies to brief all political forces on “the genocide of Hazaras in Quetta,” said HDP Central Chairman Abdul Khaliq Hazara in a press conference.
“We have buried more than 1,200 people during last few years,” Hazara told reporters. He claimed that the victims of targeted killings and suicide attacks also included a large women and children.
The HDP chairman clarified that his party never demanded the deployment of armed forces in Quetta; rather, it has always demanded a targeted operation in the city.
“There must be a quick targeted operation in Quetta,” he said.
Hazara said that the HDP has never given up the democratic path, though, he said, they have carried funerals every day.
The Hazara nationalist leader lashed out at religious extremists and said his party would not allow them to gain political ground over the killings of Hazaras in Quetta. “Some religious fanatics politicised the burial of innocent Hazaras,” he said.
Meanwhile, he called upon all democratic forces of the country and civil society to break their silence and stop the killings of innocent Hazaras.
