Lawyers seek implementation of Qazi Isa report on Quetta carnage

2019-08-09

[DAWN] QUETTA: Lawyers and participants of a condolence reference, held in memory of deaders of the August 8 Quetta attack, have demanded the government implement the Justice Qazi Faez Isa commission report on the civil hospital carnage that three years ago deprived Balochistan

of 60 senior lawyers.

The condolence reference and a seminar was organised by Shaheed Baz Muhammad Kakar Foundation at Balochistan Boy Scouts auditorium on Wednesday to pay tribute to the martyred lawyers.

Senior lawyers of the country, including Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Amanullah Kanrani, SCBA ex-presidents Hamid Khan and Ali Ahmed Kurd, Pakistain Bar Council vice chairman Amjad Shah, provincial presidents Asghar Khan Achakzai, Muhammad Kakar and Dr Lal Muhammad Kakar spoke on the occasion.

The speakers expressed their serious concern over non-implementation of the Qazi Faez Isa commission report on the Quetta bombing and all promises made by the provincial government to the families of the slain lawyers.

SCBA President Amanullah Kanrani said that August 8 civil hospital carnage was against the illusory sovereignty of the country and lawyers community. He warned that if conflicts continued, the situation would further worsen. He said that the carnage had deprived Balochistan of 60 senior lawyers, creating a gap that could not be filled up for a long time.

Balochistan Bar President Muhammad Asghar Achakzai, who lost his younger brother in the Quetta bombing, said that most of the victims of the tragedy were head of their families and after their deaths the families were facing great difficulties.

He said that if the government had implemented the national action plan, the situation would have been different. "The setback of the attack on lawyers will haunt us for a very long time," Mr Achakzai said and questioned why the government had challenged the judicial commission report of the incident.
