Pakistan: Opposition leaders end their protest as govt withdraws FIR lodged against them

Quetta: Lawmakers in Quetta ended their protest at the Bijli Road police station in Quetta after the  Balochistan government withdrew the FIR lodged against the opposition lawmakers for the chaos outside the provincial assembly building last month, media reports said.

The Balochistan government had registered a case against 250 people, including 17 members of the opposition, over a scuffle during the budget session on June 18, reports The Express Tribune.

The opposition leaders were protesting recently against the arrest for the past 14 days.

There were more than six rounds of talks between the government and the opposition. The names of opposition members were removed from the FIR instead of the case being dismissed in the first phase, reports The Express Tribune.

The opposition leaders had said they would not end their protest until FIR lodged against them are withdrawn.

On Saturday night, provincial ministers Mir Zia Langau, Mir Arif Jan Mohammad Hasani and Mir Saleem Khosa went to parliamentary secretary Mubeen Khan Khilji at the Bijli Road police station where they informed the opposition about the withdrawal of the case, the newspaper reported.
