Islamabad (HRNW) Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the protesting Hazara community to bury the coal miners killed in Machh last week.
Hazara protesters have been staging a sit-in at a highway near Quetta for the last four days and they have refused to bury their dead. The protesters say they won’t bury the victims until PM Khan arrives in Quetta and meets families of the slain coal miners.
“I share your pain and have come to you before also to stand with you in your time of suffering,” the prime minister said on Twitter.
“I will come again very soon to offer prayers and condole with all the families personally.”
He said he would never betray his people’s trust. “Please bury your loved ones so their souls find peace,” PM Khan said.
On January 3, at least 10 coal miners were executed by unidentified men in their sleeping room in the Machh coal field area. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State’s Wilayah Pakistan arm.
