Meanwhile Qadeer Baloch said that the governor of Sindh has ordered the IG of Sindh police not to provide security to the Baloch marchers. Qadeer Baloch told Baloch Warna News that: “We have been walking without any police security in last 4 days. A well-wisher within the Sindh police has informed me that the governor of Punjab has asked the governor of Sindh to stop the march from entering into Punjab. That’s why the Inspector General of Police has pulled off our security. Even though the security has always been inadequate as there were motely only two policemen who would show up whenever it suited them but now they have also stopped showing up.” He said his main concern was the heavy traffic on roads because they already narrowly escaped few dangerous accidents. He reiterated his warning that if anything happened to any of the marchers or members of public, the governments of Sindh and Punjab will be held responsible.
