KARACHI: The president of the Balochistan National Party (BNP), Sardar Akhter Mengal, has appealed to the Supreme Court to take suo motu action against the secret agency personnel who have been (reportedly) trying to kill or abduct him and his party workers for the past 12 days.Addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club on Saturday, the Baloch sardar alleged that after they filed a petition in the Sindh High Court, the siege of his house was ended by the law enforcement agencies but they have still been chasing him and his party’s workers. Mengal feared his and its workers’ lives were in danger from secret agencies, including the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI). “Province-wide wheel jam and shutter down strikes today (Saturday) were observed by Baloch and Pushtoon nationalists in Balochistan against military action in Balochistan and the siege of my house in Karachi,” said Mengal, adding that the government had started victimizing his family after the BNP arranged a successful rally in Quetta last week. About the federal ban on the Baloch Liberation Army, Mengal said it was not a registered organization and no notification could harm it. “In the past, the previous government had banned the defunct National Awami Party,” said Mengal.
