Pakistan Baluchistan Education Minister Shot Dead
Quetta: After a shooting incident, Baluchistan Education Minister Shafique Ahmed Khan was shot dead in a motorcade ambush. The tragic event took place on Toghi road while the minister was on his way home. Gunmen opened indiscriminate fire on the minister. Two bullets were believed to have been shot through his chest and throat.
Shafique Ahmed Khan became the member of the Baluchistan Provincial Assembly in 2008. He was 55 years old. The minister was dismounting his vehicle when gunmen on a motorcycle shot him on the spot. He was affiliated with Pakistan People’s Party. Hidayatullah Jafar has been critically injured in this violent incident.
Initially it was believed that the Taliban were responsible for the shooting. However the Baluchistan Liberation United Front has claimed responsibility for the murder of Minister Shafique Ahmed Khan. The reason for his assassination has not been stated yet. The Prime Minister and President of Pakistan have demanded an immediate investigation of this case.
Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik has condemned the murder and vowed to fight against terrorism. MQM Leader Altaf Hussain has expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Minister Shafique Ahmed Khan. Other political entities continue to express their shock and grief over this horrendous incident.
It is still ambiguous as to why the minister was shot. Most political analysts firmly believe that it had significant connection with the nationalist parties of Baluchistan. Extreme-right parties continue to rebel against the PPP government of the province.
The area of shooting has been cordoned while the vehicle has been taken into custody. This incident of homicide is not a new one in the province of Baluchistan where political carnage and religious bloodshed is a daily routine matter. Freedom fighters and nationalistic movements continue to thrive on the lives of hundreds of innocents.
It would be naïve for one to believe that the condemnation of this atrocity is enough. Loopholes present in the security system of Pakistan have snatched the lives of many political and non-political entities. As the carnage continues in Pakistan, many citizens are left shattered and dismayed at the destitute condition of their precious country.The Balochistan government has announced the closure of all educational institutions across the province to mourn the death of the minister.
