Following the end of the deadlock between the government and the Hazara community protestors, the funeral prayers of the slain coal miners were offered on Saturday at Quetta's Hazara Town.
The funeral prayers which were attended by around 5,000 people, were led by Allama Raja Nasir Abbas. National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, Federal Maritime Minister Ali Zaidi, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Imran Khan Zulfi Bukhari, Provincial Home Minister Mir Zia Langu and other provincial ministers also attended the prayers.
