The hunger strike being carried out by the members of Hazara community in Quetta to bring attention towards the killing of Hazaras in the city entered its fourth day on Tuesday.
Lawyer and activist Jalila Haider, who is leading the hunger strike camp set up outside Quetta press club, said on Monday that she will continue the strike until the army chief visits the city and details concrete steps to bring the killers to justice and protect the religious minority.
Haider says Gen Qamar Bajwa should come and console the thousands of widows and orphaned children left by the killing of Hazaras in Pakistan over the past two decades.
In recent months, at least 30 Hazaras have been gunned down in Quetta, however, police have still not arrested any suspect.
