Balochistan Home Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti said at a press conference that at least 10 personnel of the Frontier Corps were injured during a heavy exchange of fire that continued for several hours in the Parodh area.
Musharraf summoned in another case By Amanullah Kasi QUETTA: An anti-terrorism court ordered former president Pervez Musharraf, an accused in the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case, on Monday to appear in the hearing on April 21 or face an arrest warrant and cancellation of his bail. Judge Tariq Anwar Kasi expressed displeasure over the non-appearance of the former military ruler despite orders issued to the police for the fifth time to produce the accused.
PPP for keeping military on board By Syed Irfan Raza ISLAMABAD: The PPP expressed concern on Monday over release of Taliban prisoners under what it called undisclosed assurances and urged the government to keep the army on board during talks with the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan.

TIME TO IDOLISE THE CONSCIENCE FALLEN idols are a chilling sight. Be it man or deity, the vulnerability of the revered is never an easy bullet to bite. We drove down a lush avenue with nurseries ablaze with spring blooms and sluggish camels chomping lazily under old neem trees, to arrive at the non-descript gate of the Kali Mata Mandir in Hyderabad. An old peepal tree and a saffron temple flag ushered us into a long, tight alleyway, where the first stop is the assailed sanctum of Hanuman, some 400ft away from Kali. It is a lime green, grilled room that freezes one’s spine upon entrance — a god sits scarred and broken in his pink-tiled niche; his limbs have been crushed and he is propped up with bricks.
