BNP warns of no-confidence motion against Bizenjo if Khetran not removed as minister
QUETTA (Dunya News) – Barkhan incident victim Giran Naz's husband Khan Muhammad Marri on Thursday accused Balochistan Minister for Construction and Communications Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran of forcing him into testifying against the minister's son Inam Shah.
His statement comes in the wake of claims on the media that Khetran's son Inam Shah had conspired against his father to topple him out of government.
He said he was the minister's servant and only Khetran was behind the incident adding that Khetran had three private jails which imprisoned children, women, and the elderly. "I had escaped his jail but he killed my sons Nawaz and Abdul Qadir", he added. He came to know, he said, that security forces had recovered members of his family but the girl was unidentifiable, so she could be anyone's daughter.
Earlier, the Balochistan National Party (BNP) had demanded that the Balochistan government should initiate proceedings against and remove the minister who had received the public ire after dead bodies were found in his 'self-made prison' in Barkhan.
Taking to Twitter, the BNP warned, “The failure of the Balochistan government to remove the minister will lead to the initiation of a no-confidence movement against Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo”.
