Adjournment motion on Saqiba's suicide couldn't be presented
Motion regarding Muslim Bagh's Saqiba's suicide not presented in Balochistan Assembly for discussion
QUETTA: (Dunya News) – Adjournment motion regarding the suicide of Muslim Bagh student Saqiba Karar could not be presented in Balochistan Assembly on Thursday for discussion, reported Dunya News.
According to details, the adjournment motion was presented by Pakhtunkhwa – Milli Awami Party (PK-MAP) member of the assembly Arfa Siddique but it was not accepted for discussion, upon which Arfa Siddique boycotted the assembly session and staged a walkout.
Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti said that suicide is a crime but it was an educational matter. “Balochistan Chief Minister (CM) Sanaullah Zehri has formed an inquiry committee to investigate the matter. No one can be declared guilty unless the investigations are complete”, he said.
Balochistan Assembly Speaker Raheela Durrani ruled that the adjournment motion regarding Saqiba’s suicide cannot be made part of the discussion according to the rule.

The protesters alleged that police and administration are not taking notice of the issue as no file has been moved despite passage of six days.
Late position-holder Saqiba Hakeem had committed suicide on last day of exams form submission as she was denied enrollment for asking to appoint a female invigilator for girls.
On the other hand, civil hospital in Quetta has issued Saqiba’s medical report, declaring black stone behind her death. The stone, consisting poisonous material, is mostly used in village to darken the hair.
Report says college student’s liver and heart stopped functioning due to toxic black stone within four to six hours, claiming her life while the local government is firmly standing on filing FIR after committee’s report.
Earlier, Balochistan Education Minister Abdul Raheem Ziaratwal, while talking to Kamran Khan in his programme named ‘Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Sath’ had said that the deceased girl was a brilliant student and the principal of the college should have let the issue go and not take such a hard stance on paltry matter.
Principal, Abida Ghous was supposed to allow admission to the student without making it an ego issue, he added.
Principal Ghous reportedly had given authority to run all college affairs to her brother-in-law, the clerk. To add to the irony of the issue, late Saqiba left a note addressed to Ghous which roughly states that she would question her on the Day of Judgment for the injustice she had to face.
