Sanaullah Zehri, the convener of Pakistan Muslim League - N and chief of Jhalawan, said that there was no concrete proof of foreign involvement in Balochistan’s unrest, despite contrary claims by the Interior Minister Rehman Malik. At Sukkur airport, Zehri expressed his concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in Balochistan. He was accompanied by other PML-N members, MNA Abdul Qadir Baloch and Nawabzada Changez Khan Marri.
He said that target killing was rampant and bullet-riddled bodies were found on a daily basis. He claimed that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif’s bold stance could help mitigate the instability in the province. Regarding the return of fugitive Baloch insurgents, he said that PML-N wants to have complete mandate over the government before inviting the young Baloch to come out because the party did not want them to meet “Mir Murtaza Bhutto’s fate”.
