Interior Minister met Shia protesters but failed to end Quetta sit-in

Federal Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal visited the camp of sit-in outside Balochistan Assembly where he held talks with Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen’s leader Agha Syed Mohammad Raza who is also Balochistan Law Minister but failed to convince the protesters to end sit-in being held in protest against Shia genocide and in particular recent targeted murders of Shia Hazaras.

The provincial minister and MWM leader Agha Raza who was leading the sit-in protest outside Balochistan legislature refused to end protest and told the Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal that sit-in would continue as long as Army Chief’s visit to Quetta to condole and give assurance to the heirs of martyrs for crushing action against terrorists.
