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.
@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.
There is no doubt that Bugti's murderers should be prosecuted in fullest extend. This is of utmost importance.
@Abdul latif: Excuse me, but this guy always kicks into 5th gear whenever close to elections. So there is nothing surprising there.
Old tactics
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?
at least someone is in Baluchistan to listen the voice of Bugti's Family... A GOOD GESTURE... I Appreciate NS..
At Least NS is making a effort. He is Active around Pakistan. Taking initiatives such as Memogate, Stood up for Judiciary. No matter what people say. He has shown mature politics since returning from exile.
Nawaz Sharif is complicating situation in Pakistan beyond repair to settle scores.
