The Senate Committee hearing the gruesome details of the live burial of women in Balochistan was told on Friday that the number of such women could be seven and not five or three as earlier reported.But the Committee on Human Rights was ignored totally by the PPP government as none of the three important ministers, who are active members of the Senate body, attended the meeting chaired by Senator SM Zafar.
The absence of these three powerful ministers was felt more, not only because of their current ministerial status but in their capacity as its members, by the jam-packed Committee Room which heard shocking disclosure that the total number of the unfortunate women might be seven. Those who did not attend the meeting were Farooq Naik, Latif Khosa and Rehman Malik.
