ISLAMABAD: The National Commission for Enforced Disappearances has stated some political neophytes and adventurous politicians were trying to use the humanitarian crisis of missing persons to their advantage and were politicising the issue by misinforming the innocent Pakhtuns. It clarified statistics regarding handing over of 4,000 Pakistanis to foreign countries were baseless. The commission said the President of the commission Justice Javed Iqbal the figures regarding the missing persons originally appeared in ‘The News’ on April 18, 2007. The commission declared the report was baseless, which could not mislead the public.
