QUETTA : The Balochistan government has made a strong statement claiming that the widely reported issue of missing persons in the province does not exist.
Former spokesperson to CM Babar Yousafzai stated that there is “no missing persons issue in Balochistan.” Instead, he characterized the matter as a narrative constructed for political purposes.
Yousafzai specifically accused the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), a prominent nationalist group, of fabricating and exaggerating the issue. He claimed the organization is “just doing politics” to fuel dissent and garner support, rather than addressing any genuine, widespread problem.
This statement represents a firm denial of long-standing claims by human rights organizations and families and positions the government’s view in direct opposition to activist groups.
