Baloch families plan Punjab march in quest of the missing: VBMP Seminar Karachi Press Club

Karachi is not where the Baloch families seeking their missing beloved end their walk. In a few days, Mama Qadeer with his followers, mostly women and children, will be marching to Islamabad.

“I know the walk to Punjab is unsafe. There are no pockets of Baloch inhabitants who will open their houses to us or share their food. But if I come back dead from Punjab, I will think the purpose of my life has been fulfilled,” said Qadeer, who heads the Voice of Baloch Missing Person (VBMP), a group fighting for the rights of the missing Baloch youth.
