ISLAMABAD: Disillusioned with the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) failure to address grievances of the Baloch people, senior leader from Balochistan, Lashkari Raisani, resigned from party membership on Tuesday.
Raisani submitted his resignation to Chairman Senate Syed Nayyar Hussain Bokhari, a close associate told The Express Tribune. He also resigned from the Senate after meeting with Bokhari.
He maintained that PPP could not trace the missing persons and stop target killings in the province. “The reason for this resignation is my disillusionment with the present PPP leadership,” stated Raisani in his one-page resignation letter.
According to his close associate, Raisani was unhappy with the party leadership on its failure to address the crisis in Balochistan.
He had resigned as president of PPP Balochistan last year.
Political analysts told The Express Tribune that the government’s efforts to address the issues of the troubled province will face a serious setback after the resignation of Raisani.

This is a good step ;Provided the resignation is not taken back .It will highlight the seriousness of the issue.Others should also resign if they feel it will solve the problems
The situation in Baluchistan is very serious and it may reach a point of no return if not handled on urgent basis and with sincerity

Time for all turncoats to join PTI. They are needed there and would be very welcomed. What has Rasisani done all these years to uplift the plight of Baloch people? Balochistan crisis has not started today and he has been in top position for many years. Everybody wants to become innocent after their long tenure.

The PPP should take serious note of the Raisani resignation and redouble its efforts for resolving the problems of the Baluch people.
