Balochistan lawyers have claimed that the decision to fence Gwadar is a conspiracy against the province and its people. The decision will be challenged in the Balochistan High Court and province-wide strikes will be held too, Quetta Bar Association (QBA) Vice-Chairperson Muneer Kakar said while addressing a joint press conference with the Balochistan Bar Council (QBC) on Saturday.
The Centre thinks it will control Gwadar once it has been fenced but we won’t let that happened, said the lawyer. ‘You can’t seal a city for its protection.’ Kakar said people in Gwadar don’t have access to clean drinking water yet funds are being spent on fencing the city.
On Friday, Senator Mir Kabir Mohammad Shahi spoke against the fencing during a press conference.
