The government of Balochistan put Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti, provincial president of Jamhoori Watan Party, under house arrest in Quetta for 90 days to avert his announced long march slated to begin on Friday (today). Security has also been put on high alert outside Shahzains house. Talking to Dunya News, Bugti said that he has been put under house arrest to stop him from holding long march. He warned that security forces and people threatening him to stop entering Sui and Dera Bugti should not create any hurdle to peaceful long march; otherwise, they would be responsible for consequences. He said the government should not use such tactics and allow peaceful long march.
