The Hazara Shuhada Committee has rejected Prime Minister Imran Khan’s appeal to bury their dead prior to his Quetta visit, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The committee has made it clear to the prime minister that they will not bury those members of their community who had been shot dead in Machh a few days ago until and unless he comes.

The committee said that the grief of the Hazara people was becoming deeper and deeper with each passing day as they continued to the protest sit-in in Quetta for the sixth consecutive day on Friday. 

Earlier, speaking in Islamabad, Imran Khan made it clear to the Hazara community that he will visit Quetta only if they bury their loved ones first.

The prime minister said “It’s very simple the moment you bury your dead I will be on my way to Quetta.”

He further said the government had accepted all the demands of the Hazara community members. “But, this condition that they will not bury the dead until the prime minister comes is just a blackmailing which is not appropriate,” he said.

“Bury your dead today and I will be there today,” Imran Khan made it absolutely clear.
