Shia Hazara End Sit-in After Assurances of P.M.’s Visit to Quetta File photo In a late night development, grieving families agree to bury bodies of slain coalminers after government accepts their demands Shia Hazara protesters called off their sit-in—which had prompted nationwide protests in solidarity—at Quetta’s Western Bypass late on Friday night and announced they would bury coalminers slain by Islamic State militants after government lawmakers assured them that all their demands had been accepted and Prime Minister Imran Khan would visit them on Saturday. Announcing the end to the sit-in, representatives of the Shuhada Action Committee and Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen said federal cabinet members Ali Zaidi and Zulfi Bukhari, as well as Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan and National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri had assured them that Khan, as well as other senior officials, would visit them today. The announcement followed the prime minister claiming earlier that he would not be “blackmailed” into visiting the protesters and would only reach Quetta after they had buried the slain colliers.
