Interim Human Rights Minister Khalil George has claimed that a government committee was on the cards to investigate missing people.
Recently, the Islamabad High Court summoned interim Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Nov 29 if he did not take steps for the recovery of 55 alleged missing Baloch students.
SC’s Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani noted that it was not a case of a single person, but 55 students were missing, which was why the matter was referred to the interim prime minister.
“The [interim] prime minister [Kakar] and the [caretaker] interior minister [Sarfraz Bugti] hail from Balochistan. They should have felt that this issue concerns Baloch students. Should we send this issue to the United Nations? Should we humiliate our own country?” Justice Kayani asked.
He added that the court anticipated that the interim PM would acknowledge that the missing students were the country’s children, but that did not happen.
The Sindh High Court also indicated that it would summon Kakar if the police and the provincial administration could not progress in recovering the missing persons.
“The [caretaker] prime minister is planning [to form] a committee on missing persons with the [interim] interior minister and other ministers so the issue can be completely analysed,” George told a private TV news channel in an interview.
“Like where are the missing persons, how many there are, and what is their status?” he added.
