He said some people show sympathy with terrorists, but they should keep in mind that they will even not spare them. He said these terrorists will also kill me if they get a chance.
Regarding police action against the Baloch protesters, Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said that the state has no conflict or grudge against anyone; rather, its fight is ag
