QUETTA: Pakistan Kissan Ittehad (KIP) Chairman Khalid Hussain Bathh on Sunday condemned the registration of FIRs against protesting farmers in Nasirabad, who he said were peacefully advocating for their demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a press conference with Arya Hoorain and Raza Muhammad Khilji, he called for the immediate withdrawal of cases and the release of those detained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOtherwise, the KIP will initiate demonstrations in Kulchak, Nasirabad, Lakpass, Khuzdar, and other areas,\u201d Mr Bathh warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He urged the federal and provincial governments to announce wheat support prices before the sowing season to enable farmers to cultivate more land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Bathh pressed the Balochistan government to form a committee with KIP representatives to review the transition of tube wells to solar power and assess the funds disbursed so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUntil then, farmers\u2019 electricity connections should not be disconnected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On farmers\u2019 issues, he said, \u201cPaddy crops have dried up, and vegetables have also been destroyed. The stubbornness and incompetence of the provincial irrigation minister have caused billions in damages.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
