Lawmaker Mohsin Dawar said he was barred from leaving Quetta airport on Friday by authorities upon arrival in Balochistan’s capital. “I have just landed in Quetta and I have been stopped from leaving the airport by security agencies,” said Dawar via a tweet. “I have been told that my entry to Balochistan has been barred again for 90 days. The state thinks it can break our resolve with such petty tactics. They can’t.” He also posted a notice on his Twitter account, which said that the entry of Dawar and fellow lawmaker Ali Wazir in Balochistan was banned for 90 days under the Balochistan Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. The notice, dated July 29, said that the ban on Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) leaders had been imposed “in the best interest of public peace and safety”.
