WASHINGTON, DC:Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher said on Tuesday he would continue to support the Baloch right to self-determination even if relations between the United States and Pakistan completely normalize and Islamabad abandons its support for Taliban and Islamist groups.
He was speaking at the Zenger Room of the National Press Club in Washington DC at a crowded press conference with fellow congressmen Steve King and Louie Gohmert.
Rohrbacher, who is the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Oversight and Investigations, said support for his resolution on Balochistan was continuously increasing among the members of the Congress. Initially, only four legislators had supported the Baloch right to self-determination but now his resolution enjoyed the support of at least twelve others. He hoped support for the Baloch right to self-determination would steadily increase in the US Congress.
BRINGING shame to the worldwide community, Pakistani journalist allegedly joined the Pakistani police to beat up Baloch student protesters. As per the sources, the Islamabad based journalists boycotted the protest by Baloch Student Organisation, which was staged a protest on Monday at National Press Club (NPC) to condemn the abductions of 8,000 Baloch activists, torture and subsequent murder of Ali Sher Kurd, a Baloch lawyer, writer and poet. The journalist allegedly used abusive language against the Baloch protesters and jointed Islamabad police to beat up the the Baloch students. Several of the students have been badly injured. The police lodged FIR against all of the student protesters.
