Extremely pained and saddened at the demise of Waja Habib Jalib Baloch Saaeen, the Central Secretary-General of the Balochistan National Party – Mengal (BNP – M) and former senator. May his noble and worthy soul rest in Peace! May Allah (swt) grant him a choicest place in His Gardens and may Allah shower His Mercy over the family of this valiant son of Balochistan and grant them fortitude to bear this irreparable loss with patience and courage. Aameen.
Along with my humble self, I am sure, the entire nation of Sindh is extremely grieved at the passing away of a great Baloch! We strongly condemn this barbaric and savage shooting to death of a simple man, an innocent man, which I am confident to say is the work of the Pakistan Army and the ISI.
The civilised world should, in strong terms – not just in words, but, sharp practical actions – condemn and censure this act of barbarism and bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice. Long Live Balochistan! Long Live Sindh!
