Expressing solidarity with the people of Balochistan against Pakistan’s atrocities, European Parliament Vice President Ryszard Czarnecki has said the European Union may impose economic and political sanctions on Islamabad if the Asian nation fails to stop the human rights violation in the region. ‘I told the European Union during our human rights debate that if our partner countries do not accept human rights and standards, in this situation we should react and seek sanctions like some moves in economic fields,’ he told ANI. Stating that Islamabad has dual standards, the European Parliament Vice President said on one hand it shows a clean face to the world while on the other it indulges in human rights violations. ‘The problem is that the government in Islamabad practically doesn’t control the situation and now is the time to accept and react to this situation. He said the international community, western powers and neighbouring countries should intervene if there is injustice anywhere in the world.
