Following the suicide attack on the premises of the University of Karachi which killed three Chinese teachers and a driver on Tuesday, a member of the Balochistan Assembly from the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) Bushra Rind said that the incident is being used to tarnish the image of the Baloch nation.
Speaking during a press conference alongside Parliamentary Secretary for Women Development and Climate Change Mahjabeen Sheran and ex-minister for defence production and BAP MNA Zubaida Jalal in Quetta, Rind condemned the suicide attack in the strongest terms and said that the incident was being used to give a bad name to the Baloch nation, adding that “no one will be happy with such actions”.
She further added that attempts were made by “external forces” to worsen the situation in Balochistan.
Speaking about the suicide bomber involved in the attack, who has been identified as Shari Baloch, Rind said that her husband was taken into custody for interrogation a day ago.
“Shari’s husband has revealed that she was mentally ill and was on medication,” Rind shared with journalists.
Zubaida Jalal expressed sorrow over the deaths of innocent people and said this was a painful time for Pakistan.
“For the first time, a woman was involved in a suicide attack. This is very unfortunate,” the BAP leader said, noting that the attack would have “far-reaching implications” on the area where she hailed from.
