ISLAMABAD, Dec 29: Opposition Leader in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that officials of law enforcement agencies must behave in a polite manner. He sought legal action against officials who dragged and humiliate Shahzain Bugti, leader of Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP).

Speaking on the floor of the house, Chaudhry Nisar said that Balochistan is a sensitive area and neglecting it would create trouble for the state which is already in the grip of severe crises.

“Arresting and humiliating the JWP leader would add fuel to the fire,” the opposition leader said and added that intelligence agencies must be brought under certain restraints.

Nisar further said that government has not made any arrest in a case of journalist who was kidnapped and beaten cruelly in the federal capital.

Meanwhile, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that mother of Shahzain talked to him on telephone and said that her son was innocent. Rehman Malik said that Shahzain was arrested jointly by the Frontier Constabulary and Police officials and case of keeping illegal weaponry was not yet registered against him.

“Government was treating the Baloch in better way”, Rehman Malik said and added that huge cache of weaponry was recovered from Shahzain’s convoy. He said that situation in Balochistan was normal after the government imposed ban on five organizations.

Shahzain Bugti, grandson of late Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, was arrested on the charges of keeping huge quantity of illegal arms and was shifted for joint investigation by the intelligence agencies.

While Shahzain denied such allegations of keeping illegal weapon and termed it a conspiracy hatched by the security agencies to trap him.
