PM Kakar forms committee for talks with Baloch marchers

ISLAMABAD: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar on Thursday established a three-member committee tasked with engaging in discussions with Baloch protesters advocating for the release of ‘missing persons.

The negotiation committee, appointed by the caretaker Prime Minister, is composed of three federal ministers: Fawad Hasan Fawad, Murtaza Solangi, and Jamal Shah.

It is worth noting that the protesters, led by Mahrang Baloch, arrived in Islamabad the previous night.

Earlier on the day, Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq issued a cautionary warning to the capital city’s chief police officer on Thursday, emphasizing that Baloch marchers have the constitutional right to stage a protest and any hindrance would be unacceptable.
