Following a short meeting of the provincial parliament on Monday, the minister told the media that, “according to his own investigations,” a woman’s identity was put on a bank account at a Quetta branch, but that no one had been questioned by the authorities about it.
He claimed that the extortion money was deposited not only in the branch on Jinnah Road but also in Habib Nullah and Gahi Khan Chowk.
He said that miners were paid Rs500 for each tonne of coal they extracted, with an average of Rs4 million being taken in through extortion each day.
Abdul Rahman Khetran laments that elected officials were left out of the war against militancy.
The minister also voiced grave worries about the law’s decline.
