QUETTA: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif offered to host an all party seminar in Islamabad to discuss the problems being faced by Balochistan.
While addressing the leaders of the National Party in Quetta today, Nawaz said that the whole country needs to work together and find solutions to Balochistan’s troubles.
“If we work together, we can bring Balochistan in the mainstream again,” he stressed.
Nawaz Sharif arrived in Quetta earlier today. Upon his arrival he was greeted by Balochistan Provincial Minister Sardar Sanaullah Zehri , Sardar Yaqub Khan Nasir and other party members.
While addressing the gathering, Nawaz said that it was high time that something was done about the hurt sentiments of the people of Balochistan.
Nawaz said that Balochistan should be given its rights and that target killings and kidnappings should stop. He added that the focus should be shifted to improving the health and education facilities in the province.
He also highlighted that no action had been taken after the recent Kharotabad incident, where five foreigners were killed by security forces.
The PML-N chief said that Balochistan’s Gawadar port had the potential to compete with Dubai and other Gulf countries. He said it was his dream to develop Gawadar and that he does not know who stopped the developments.
Sharif also said that everything in Balochistan had been destroyed, and that this had ended up hurting the people of this province.
