Specially, they apprised him of unjustifiable policy regarding Zaireen in the name of quarantine.

The delegates lamented that the government had not allowed many Zaireen to return homes even after their negative test reports.

They complained that the administration was affronting those who had gone homes by displaying unnecessary directives outside their houses.

MWM delegation said that these measures cause immense mental torture to Zaireen.

They said the government had taken Zaireen into custody since their entry into Pakistan via Taftan border crossing.

Since then government had not released them but kept them under quarantine.

First the government kept them for two weeks in Taftan and then at provinces’ quarantine centres for another two weeks.

Even after more than a month long quarantine in two phases and negative test reports, government prolonged their stay.
They condemned the media trial of Zaireen and malicious hatemongering campaign against them.

They turned down it as incorrect, unfair and unjustifiable to blame those Zaireen who have not gone anywhere but remained under government custody since the day one.

MWM delegation warned that they would not tolerate malicious media trial and slur campaign against Zaireen under any pretext.
