Though Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen has announced to end the sit-in after talks with the government but some of the anguished families and heirs of victims of Quetta blasts have refused to end the sit-in.

The grieving families demand that Quetta should be handed over to the army.

The government negotiations team came and it held talks and the effectees of Hazara Town expected that they would be provided solace, that they would not have to carry the funerals of their loved ones in future.

Talks were held with the religious scholars and they and the government negotiation team announced that talks were successful. Announcement of accepting all the demands of the protestors as well as ending the sit-in was also made.


Sit-ins have started ending in Karachi and many other parts of the country but when the bereaved families in Quetta's Hazara Town asked whether the army was coming into Quetta they were told that a targeted operation is underway in the province and army soldiers are included in it.

Many alleged terrorists have been killed and many suspects have also been arrested and the operation would continue till it meets its objectives.

The grieved families did not get the answer that Quetta would be handed over to the army on which some of them became angry and refused to end the sit-in and to bury the dead.

Attempts are being made to find out a way that could lessen the sorrows and pain of the grieved families and persons.

When all these talks were going on rain begun lashing Quetta and temperature further dropped.

A difference developed after the protests of the grieved family dis-satisfied with the decision to end the sit-in.

Meanwhile, in many cities sit-ins had started ending but then protestors started returning back.

Presently, the government negotiation team and the religious scholars holding talks with it are facing a tough time.
