Lahore:
Former Prime Minister and ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif played no role for Balochistan at all, as expected of him, the National Party (NP) Secretary General Jan Muhammad Buledi said Wednesday.
Earlier in April, a delegation of NP leaders, led by Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch, met with Nawaz at his residence in Jati Umra and assessed him about the situation in Balochistan. The NP leaders asked Nawaz to play his role “directly or indirectly through the federal government to help tackle the provincial questions.
At a joint press conference after the meeting, PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Raffique had said that Nawaz had assured Baloch and his party leaders that he would play his role for peace and stability in Balochistan.
Raffique had also said that Nawaz assured NP that he would cooperate with political players to tackle the challenges facing the province. Senator Buledi said they had high expectation and had hoped that the former prime minister would play his proactive role.
However, he added that it was Nawaz’s decision not to intervene in Matter of Balochistan.
He added that Nawaz Sharif everything was in command, and every claim that this government was not in his control over such affairs was wrong.
He said it was very condemning to stop the protesters from going towards Islamabad in Punjab. It seems that they did not want any political solution to Balochistan’s problems behind this.
He added that those who talked about Baluchistan’s rights were seen with suspicion.
