       All political leaders will be invited to participate in the conference, the JI leader added.

       He criticised the ongoing injustices in Balochistan, which, he said, have been continuing since 1948, including military operations against those demanding their rights and the jailing of political leaders and the “plundering” of Balochistan’s resources.

       He said that thousands of young Baloch have been abducted and gone missing and their mutilated bodies are being found in desolate areas of the province.

       The families of the missing persons are protesting but they are being denied their constitutional right to hold peaceful protest rallies and demand safe recovery of their loved-ones.
