Pakistani Senate panel on Saturday sought a report from the interior ministry on the action taken against terrorists and banned outfits involved in the killing of Hazaras.

This comes a day after a suicide blast targeting the minority Shia community killed 21 people in restive Balochistan province.

A meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on Interior took serious notice of the two deadly terror attacks in Balochistan on Friday. The Senate panel also sought a report about the release of activists of the banned outfits in the near past in Balochistan.

Meanwhile, the Hazara community members are continuing a sit-on in Quetta to protest against what they term as the persistent failure of law enforcement agencies to provide them security.
