A four-day long hunger strike by Hazara community members came to an end after successful negotiations with Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa by notables of Hazara community, according to Aaj News.
Director General of ISPR Major-General Asif Ghafoor, Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Commander Southern Command Lieutenant-General Asim Saleem Bajwa, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, and Balochistan Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti were part of the meeting.
On Monday night, Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal had visited a protest camp set up outside the Balochistan Assembly. He had held talks with provincial minister Syed Agha Raza who was leading the protest against unabated killings of members of the Hazara community. The protesters, however, had refused to end their protest until the army chief visited them.
General Qamar Javed Bajwa will receive an update on the security situation in the city, said the military's media wing.
