R.I.P brother. The madness continues, while we hold minute silences. That's the only thing our society is capable of, looking on while crimes are committed. Balouchistan has been handed over to sectarian outfits like lashkar e jhangvi, true friends of Lohar shareef.

Ladies and Gentlement, Pakistan is on the verge of being a failed state. But I don't see actions being taken to stop this madness? Even the army wants to do an operation against the Taliban etc, but what about operations in Punjab and Balouchistan against lashkar e jhangvi? Are they still the good guys?

QUETTA/ISLAMABAD: Minority member of the Balochistan Assembly Handery Masieh was killed by his guard in Quetta on Saturday, an official said.

He was killed in a firing incident in Nawan Killi — located in the suburbs of Quetta — the provincial capital of Balochistan.

Jan Muhammad Buledi, the government spokesperson of Balochistan, told Dawn.com that Masih's security guard opened fire on Christian MPA Masieh outside his residence as a result of which he suffered serious bullet wounds.

"Masieh succumbed to his injuries in the hospital," Buledi added.

According to AFP, Abddul Razzaq Cheema, the city's police chief, said: “The bodyguard had some personal dispute with Masieh's nephew and both had a brawl outside the residence of the lawmaker.

“The bodyguard opened fire on the nephew as Masih came out of his home to stop him. He was hit in the neck and died on the way to hospital. “ Cheema added that the bodyguard was “loyal” and bore Masieh no personal enmity.

Another police official in Quetta confirmed the killing and added: “Masih's nephew was also wounded in the attack. “It was the latest killing of a serving lawmaker in Pakistan.

Masieh was elected on a ticket of the National Party (NP) as a minority member in the Balochistan Assembly. He belonged to Balochistan’s Mastung district and was an active leader of the ruling NP.

"The same guard was serving with Masieh for the past 15 years," Rehmat Baloch, the provincial health minister and central leader of NP, told Dawn.com.

A large number of NP supporters and leaders gathered at Frontier Corps hospital where his body was kept. “Motive behind the killing is yet to be ascertained," Jan Buledi said.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif strongly condemned the incident and directed the Balochistan government to bring the perpetrator of his killing to book.

Chief Minister Balochistan Dr. Malik Baloch, who also belongs to the NP, strongly condemned the incident and directed police to arrest the accused person involved in the murder.
