Chief Justice Minallah ordered the authorities that the Secretariat of the Commission be established in the Parliament House and the commission report should be present before the court within one month. The IHC chief directed Imaan Mazari to submit all issues regarding Baloch students in the secretariat commission. “This is an important matter, students come here for the sake of education.
