Stance ignored in probe of Quetta police centre attack, Balochistan IGP claims in SC
Certain issues faced by Balochistan are needed to be addressed on political level, the IGP said
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Inspector General of Police (IGP) in Balochistan, Ahsan Mahboob has claimed on Thursday that his stance over attack on police training facility was not heard by the commission that was formed to probe the case.
The statement came in today during hearing of suo moto case after the Supreme Court (SC) had taken action over a terror attack on police training facility located on Sariab Road that claimed lives of at least 61 personnel and left around 117 wounded.
In his statement before the top court, he said that certain issues faced by Balochistan are needed to be addressed on political level.
He was made to stand in the dock for ‘eight hours’ and was criticised without being given a chance to be heard, the IGP complained. Justice Amir Hani Muslim rhetorically asked the police chief to explain who was to be held responsible for the fact that the boundary wall of the centre was shorter than needed and cadets did not bear weapons.
The apex court has ordered Interior Ministry to file reservations over report of the probe commission that was released last year.
It should be noted here that Interior Minister, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan received a lot of flak after the commission came up with its findings as the federal minister was held responsible among others for lack of security measures.
