Yaqoob Baloch, a KESC employee and National Party (NP) leader, was targeted at the KESC office within the precincts of Rizvia Police Station on Monday.
The strike call was given by the National Party (NP) and was supported by various student organisations. All the shops, markets, commercial establishments, banks and even chemists remained closed for the day, while traffic was thin on roads as people preferred to stay home.

The participants of the rally also staged protest demonstration outside the Quetta Press Club. National Party District President Niaz Baloch, Central Labour Secretary Rehmat Baloch, provincial General Secretary Abdul Khaliq Baloch, Dr Shama Ishaq and Farzana Raisani also condemned the killing. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2012%5C07%5C04%5Cstory_4-7-2012_pg7_13
