Soldier martyred in violent mob assault in Gwadar

A violent mob in garb of so called Baloch Raji Muchi assaulted Security Forces' personnel employed for security duties in Gwadar today. Resultantly, Sepoy Shabbir Baloch embraced shahadat. In addition, the unprovoked assaults by the violent protesters have resulted in injuries to sixteen soldiers including an officer. While on the other hand, fake and malicious propaganda is being spread on social media using doctored pictures and videos by the propagandists to gain sympathy and support for the unlawful violent march. Security forces have displayed extreme restraint to avoid unwarranted civilian casualties despite provocations. The violent actions of the mob are unacceptable and those responsible will be brought to justice. All citizens are urged not to fall prey to the propaganda, remain calm and peaceful, and to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in maintaining public safety and order. Security Forces of Pakistan, in step with the Nation, remain determined to thwart attempts of sabotaging peace an d stability of Balochistan. Source: Radio Pakistan
