Who is behind the Fake encounters, Akhtar Mengal POV?
BNP-M chief Akhtar Mengal alleged that the security forces were killing the youth in fake encounters in Balochistan. Providing details of the recent incidents in Mastung, Ziarat and Kharan, he alleged that the security forces had killed those Baloch youth who had gone missing from various parts of the province many years ago.
“Most of the youth in Balochistan have already reached to a point of no return,” he said. “Literally genocide is taking place in Balochistan like it happened in Bangladesh [former East Pakistan] in 1970,” he said, quoting the Hamoodur Rehman Commission report.
Mr. Mengal said previously they were told that these missing persons had gone to Afghanistan. If they were living in Afghanistan, he said, then how their bodies were being found in Pakistan. He also criticised the country’s Afghan policy, saying it was all happening when they were celebrating Taliban takeover and claiming that Afghanistan had become Pakistan’s fifth province.

He called for constituting a high-level judicial inquiry commission, headed by a sitting Supreme Court judge, to probe the “fake encounters” in Balochistan.
Mr. Mengal also called for carrying out the DNA tests of the dead bodies found from the rooftop of a Multan hospital, fearing that these corpses could be of the missing persons from his province.
