QUETTA: Balochistan National Party (Mengal) acting president Jehanzeb Jamaldani has said that throwing of bullet-riddled bodies, the alleged illegal
arrests and military operation in Balochistan are aimed to push the Baloch to the wall but they will not abandon their struggle against the ‘oppressors’.
Addressing a press conference here on Sunday at the end of a two-day meeting of the BNP-M’s office-bearers of 16 districts, he regretted that the Supreme
Court had not taken suo motu notice of frequent abduction and killing of Baloch people in the province.
The party during its meeting discussed the political situation in Balochistan and the BNP-M’s organisational matters and decided to mobilise the Baloch
against the “anti-people actions of the government”.
Dr Jamaldani said that people of Balochistan were facing a painful situation owing to the alleged military actions, extra-judicial killings and unlawful arrests.
About the armed activities by some organisations, he said that morally the BNP-M supported them for their struggle against the injustices and exploitation of
the resources of the Baloch land.
However, Dr Jamaldani said his party believed that contentious issues should be resolved through negotiations, adding that political dialogue was the only
way to settle political and constitutional matters.
He said Baloch people had been denied their rights since long and that’s why they had been struggling against those who had been usurping their
resources.
He urged the government to immediately stop work on the Reko-Diq and other ‘anti-Baloch’ projects launched without the consent of Baloch people.
Condemning corruption in the provincial departments, Dr Jamaldani alleged that ministers and government functionaries were looting people’s money
instead of utilising it for the welfare of the common man.
