Prof. Rauf also said the country’s judiciary, which looks towards Rawalpindi before making any decision, took nearly fours years to raise the question of missing persons, who, in fact, were in the custody of the intelligence agencies.
And now a legislator presented a resolution in the US House of Representatives calling for self-determination in restive Balochistan province.
The Republican Representative Dana Rohrabacher’s resolution said the Balochi people “have the right to self-determination and to their own sovereign country, and they should be afforded the opportunity to choose their own status.” What’s next?
