QUETTA: Pakistan Muslim league-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that the people of Balochistan were not satisfied with government’s Balochistan package and stressed adequate steps should be to solve the problems of the Baloch people.
Sharif was talking to newsmen after meeting Talal Bugti, the son of former Jamhoori Watan party chief late Nawab Akbar Bugti. He also asked why had the government failed to prosecute the murderers of Nawab Akbar Bugti.
Reacting to news that the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party was more concerned about pushing for early elections than Balochistan. Sharif added that early elections was “a demand of every Pakistani.”
Nawaz Sharif said Balochistan package was “ineffective for the healing of their wounds. National conference should be held soon to find a way to solve Balochistan issue.”
Sharif also highlighted the worsening law and order situation in Balochistan. “Kidnapping and killing of youngsters in Balochistan is a cruel act. Everyone should be informed about missing persons,” he observed.
The PML-N chief is on a two day visit to Quetta, met with National Party president Dr Malik Baloch. The two discussed the security situation, and other problems in Balochistan. Sharif promised to hold a seminar in Islamabad over the problems faced by Pakistan’s largest province.

at least someone is in Baluchistan to listen the voice of Bugti’s Family… A GOOD GESTURE… I Appreciate NS..

Akbar Bugti preferred to die while fighting rather than making a deal with Musharraf. Nawaz Sharif made a deal with Musharraf to save his life. He is now running around from province to province because he knows his days are numbered. What did he do for Baluchistan when he was in power twice at the Federal Level and when he was CM of Punjab as well?

@Abdul latif:
Excuse me, but this guy always kicks into 5th gear whenever close to elections. So there is nothing surprising there.
Recommend
There is no doubt that Bugti’s murderers should be prosecuted in fullest extend. This is of utmost importance.

@K. Salim Jahangir
What do you suggest? Sweep everything under the carpet & close our eyes? It takes a courage to face a problem so good job NS.

He’s says all this more out of hatred and revenge. He should have shown courage instead he appealed to Musharraf for clemency and sought permission to leave the country.

Aah Alas,Nawaz Sharif wakes up from his slumber,or did he?A clever and a cunning man with no intentions of really solving the problem.NAB is not just the problem;the deprivation of people of Balochistan is the ‘ultimate question’.Where was he when people were getting killed since last 5 years?Where is the ‘damsel’ when Hazaras are killed?A hypocrite-Nawaz Sharif-to say the least.What did ‘Mr’ do in 1990′s for Balochistan?Instead chose the province to carry out the nuclear test thus plunging the province into the longest droughts ever.I pity at the Baloch leaders who settle for so less when the resources which Baloch have been deprived were canabalized by the same Nawaz Sharif!Recommend
