QUETTA: The Provincial Minister, Abdul Rahim Ziaratwal has categorically stated that it is prime responsibility of the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to eliminate the anti-state and anti-social elements from the province.
However, they have no right to bother any innocent citizen, maintained the Minister during visit to the office of a local daily here the other day.
Also present on the occasion were the Chairman of Killa Abdullah, Malik Usman, Rasheed Nasser, leader of the Anjuman Tajran, Abdul Qayum Agha, Abdul Samad Khan Achakzai and others.
The Minister said that the provincial government has taken up the matter of alleged behavior of the Customs and Frontier Corps (FC) with traders to the federal government. It is our stance to limit the check posts to the borders so as to prevent the smuggling of arms and narcotics in the province, he stressed.
We would not allow anyone to harass the people without any justification, asserted the Minister, who held the portfolios of Law and Parliamentary Affairs besides the Information and Information Technology in the previous Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch-led provincial coalition government.
He also said that we are the elected representatives of the people and as such it is our duty to protect their rights.
Ziaratwal, who is also the Parliamentary Leader of Pashtoonkhaw Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) in the provincial assembly, further said that we would protect the rights of the traders. He said that we are with them (traders) in their genuine demands.
Referring the Chinese-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), he said that the PkMAP and other allied parties are on the same page.
