Hazaras condemn the bias act of police regarding arrest of peaceful protesters. When police can not arrest even a single terrorist than she has no right to stop the people from peaceful protest. The target killings of Hazaras in Quetta, the capital city of Baluchistan province have been started in1999 when the former Provincial Edu: Minister cam under attack. Approximately till now more than 400 innocent Hazaras have been killed and 1000 got injuries. Alas! till now, not a single terrorist brought to justice nor punished bus said all is well. Hazaras want justice and peace.
