Don't blackmail me into coming to Quetta, PM tells Hazara mourners

[El Sidd]

Firdous Ashiq Awan just disclosed on geo tv that one of their demand is to give permanent citizenship of Pakistan to Afghani hazara Community inside Pakistan which is not acceptable

How many are they?

 

[AZ1]

You cry all the time about Karachi and Muhajirs.

But now you can't emphatize with other communities? No wonder no one takes us seriously.

So all of sudden hazara people become problem of muhajir or karachi?

Do you have no shame?

I do question is do you have any? ok go ahead say it's army.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Sir the same was said about PTM.

My point is if they need reassurance and action and PM has guaranteed them that he will visit as soon as they bury their dead, why are they hesitating.

Who are the people that raised 'deshatgardi Kay peechay wardi hai' slogans during interior minister visit?

Why the hazara democratic parties are saying that their was a consensus on burying the dead following the incident but some elements moved the bodies to the streets in the middle of the night?

you see.
you and I must not join those who would criticize the victims because our own political parties, pressure groups and NGOs and foreign funded organisations are going to take advantage of this situation.

do you know that the authorities didnt turn up until 2 days to the incident? the Provence government remained indifferent and the families of the victims had to pick up their dead themselves and it is the absence of authorities that has really fanned the anger and raising the suspicions that the killers had full support or knowledge of the intelligence agencies.

of course PDM will spin it to its advantage just like Pashton moment (Manzoor Pashteen) hijacked the killing of a mehsood in karachi and turned it into an anti Pak army drive.
India, Iran , Afghanistan, America and others will also try to exploit the situation just because of the insensitivity and utter incompetence shown by PTI.

Don't blackmail me into coming to Quetta, PM tells Hazara mourners

Promises to visit the Hazara community as soon as they bury the slain miners

ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Imran Khan announced on Friday that he will not be blackmailed into coming to Quetta and would visit the mourners, including women and children, sitting along with bodies of 11 labourers in extreme weather conditions near the Western Bypass area close to Hazara Town only when they bury the dead.

The prime minister was of the view that linking the burial with his prior visit made no sense, adding that no one blackmails a sitting prime minister like this anywhere in the world.
“If this condition is accepted then everyone will blackmail the prime minister,” the premier said, adding that a gang of robbers – the opposition parties – is also trying to blackmail him for the last two-and-a-half years.

“If you bury the dead today, I assure you that I will visit Quetta today,” PM Imran announced while speaking as a chief guest at the launching ceremony of Special Technology Zones Authority in Islamabad.
The prime minister went on to add that all the demands of the bereaved families and people protesting in Quetta have already been accepted except the condition that they would bury the dead only when PM visits them.
“Do not put a condition that makes no sense,” Imran said.
In his speech, PM Imran once again accused India of spreading chaos in Pakistan, saying he has been saying it since March 2019 that “India is fully involved in spreading chaos” and wants to spread sectarian violence in the country.
He lauded the intelligence agencies for averting four major terrorism attacks since he has informed his cabinet and openly expressed about India’s involvement in terrorism activities in Pakistan.

Armed attackers had slaughtered 11 miners near a mine site in Balochistan's Machh coalfield area on Sunday. The militant Islamic State group claimed the responsibility of the gruesome attack. Since then thousands of Hazaras have been protesting while sitting along with the coffins of their loved ones.
In his speech, PM Imran expressed that Hazara was the most targeted community in the country; he has visited them many times in the past and witnessed their fear, adding that “no community has been oppressed the way the Hazara community has been oppressed over the years.”

Deeming the murder of 11 coalminers brutal, he said, all this is part of the conspiracy hatched by India which has been highlighted many times since March. “It’s a big attempt to spread sectarian divide,” he maintained.
Expressing that the government was aware of the sufferings of the Hazara community, Imran said that he first sent the interior minister and later two other federal ministers to Quetta to tell the protestors that the government was with them and it will provide every kind of compensation as “bread earners” were killed in Machh, Balochistan.

Earlier, PM Imran took to micro-blogging site Twitter to reassure the Hazara families that he was “cognizant of their suffering and their demands” after they refused to end their protest until PM himself visits them and listens to their demands.
However, PM Imran has reiterated that the bereaved families should first bury their loved ones and only then he would visit them. The PTI-led coalition government has been feeling the heat of the Hazara community’s sit-in Quetta and seemed to be thrown on the defensive as it was repeatedly challenged by the opposition over its slow response to the massacre in Machh.

Don't blackmail me into coming to Quetta, says PM | The Express Tribune

“You cannot blackmail the prime minister of a country like this,” Imran Khan said on Friday while referring to a demand of the protesting Hazara community that he visit them at the Quetta sit-in before they bury the 11 colliers massacred by terrorists last week.

Imran Khan is over his head, and his attitude really comes out in this. He should go visit them, instead of meeting with actors from a Turkish Drama, so that he can be there in the Namaz-e-Jenazah and feel the pain that those people are feeling, maybe then he will take the worsening terrorism in Balochistan a little more seriously.

In New Zealand, the premier visits victims' families after the terrorist attack immediately. Expresses solidarity, and actually shows a reaction to deal with the terrorist attacks and curb hate crimes. But in Pakistan, the premier believes that the victims of terrorism are blackmailing the premier. Just wow.

Edit: A person who wants to establish a 'Riyasat-e-Medina,' but cannot even fathom what any of the four enlightened caliphs would have done in his position, that person is a joke and a complete joke.
Even more of a clown, if he believes that some poor people, from one of the most persecuted minorities in Pakistan, are playing politics and blackmailing, using their own loved ones bodies in the freezing cold temperature, the 'mighty premiere' who has better things to do, like, ironically, visit Ertugrul Drama actors.

Many people feel intense emotions such as anger, injustice and fear. We need to deal with these emotions, so that they don’t become destructive and make things more difficult. It is not as simple to say ‘let it go’, but perhaps find a way to redirect the negative energy, into something more positive – that way, the terrorists don’t win.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

How many are they?

In thousands

 

[Cliftonite]

I do question is do you have any? ok go ahead say it's army

So all of sudden hazara people become problem of muhajir or karachi?

Next time Karachi gets flooded or experiences gang war, don't cry and do r*ndi rona that we are soutela, we are orphans, no one cares about us, state doesn't care about us, and typical middle class Karachiite Muhajir lines.

No wonder nobody takes us seriously. The middle class Muhajir (like you and Areesh) is a useful fool for the establishment and can't emphatize with any other community. Instead you make light of other people's sufferings.

Learn to emphatize with others or atleast keep your mouth shut. Shia community is a fundamental part of Karachi.

So they want to pay tax to government of Pakistan for security?

Government can offer them preferential work visas to work in these mines. They won't have to pay any tax but their employer.

If they feel threatened in Afghanistan, they can apply for Asylum and go with the naturization process as per Pakistani law.

 

[flameboard]

He said "Where is the state." not where is the PM. The state in the current timeline has visited the protestors. It was the Ministry of interior.

Does Imran Khan not represent the State?

 

[El Sidd]

In thousands

This demand seem to stem from Prime Ministers mandate of giving Afghans citizenship.

Where's the Afghan government and their representative?

Does Imran Khan not represent the State?

no.

President Alvi is symbolic representation of the State.

Sir what the state is trying to do is separate the elements from families. As soon as the deceased are buried IK will visit the actual aggrieved not the ones that have highjacked such as PTM.
The plan was already set by the attackers. What you are seeing by some elements is the 2nd phase of that plan. If PM visits it gives them legitimacy same sequence of events as we saw in PTM march.

One of their demand is give citizenship to Afghan Hazara residing in Pakistan. What if they say after IK visit that we will march towards Islamabad if PM does not fulfill our demands? You understand its not IK its the state that is speaking.

Remember the PTM demands remove checkposts etc? Do you think Mishal Khan had actually any thing to do with checkposts? Now one must ask what is the link of foreign sponsored terror attack with citizenship.

We used to say the same thing about Mishal Khan death and PTM. This is dejavu.

KARACHI: Pakistan's financial hub Karachi saw its deadliest year in two decades in 2012, with around 2,000 people killed in violence linked to ethnic and political tensions, raising fears for elections due this year.

2012 deadliest year in Karachi for two decades

According to the CPLC, 2,124 people were killed in Karachi in 2012, the worst year since records began nearly 20 years ago.

www.dawn.com

No one is making comparison but lost count how many families had lost their love ones. Know one guy who was the only one earning for his family, two kids left who will look after them?
How many army men have lost their lives lost the count and still counting. Did they demand PM or President should come otherwise this and that?

This demand is from dharna people and not by the people who lost their love ones.

Even Imran Khan has highlighted the persecution of the Hazara Shia needs special attention as you can note in his own tweet and videos recorded of him.

then why you crying? so you are shia every one should listen to you? first do the tadfeen and then do your drama here don't you have any shame left in you? playing on dead bodies what will imran khan do bring them alive? at least after death let them have peacefully buried but no you need tamasha on dead bodies.

Do the tadfeen first and then do dharna and all.

Even Imran Khan has highlighted the persecution of the Hazara Shia needs special attention as you can note in his own tweet and videos recorded of him.

All attention should be given no question about that but not like this imagine what situation families are going through, they lost their love ones and then can't even buried them. Even in Islam it's been said do hurry in tadfeen so what those trying to do?

they are in no position to place demands. many of them have lost all male members of their families. even if they march they will be killed on their way to Islamabad.

Imran should address them directly via video or radio. thats the least he can do. few words of compassion and assurances. but he is one stubborn son of a thing and I know he wont do that unfortunately as he is not a politician. he didnt even go to his PTI friend Naeem Al Haq funeral in Karachi.

in 2013 time their killers followed them from the slaughter house to the hospitals to the graveyards,
I seriously doubt if they can make a ridiculous demand of making Afghans Pakistani citizens. for now they want to be allowed to die a dignified natural death. but even for a moment lets say such social media rumors are true then they will only invite criticism to themselves,

again I will say, lets not blame them if PDM, Manzoor Pashteen, India, Iran, NGO, West, Jabran and all ipod costa coffee liberal elites use this tragedy to their advantage. or criminals fool you or I into giving some donations and running away with the money

Sir that's what this is all about. The demands put forth are not what genuine affectees are demanding. If IK bends to them that means the state bends to such elements.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1347474659063828482

Everything will be revealed in time. One should ask the question why are they not burying the deceased when IK categorically said that he will visit. I see no harm in it.

I admit their grievances are real but also the entities that want to feed on such grievances is also a reality.
