QUETTA:
Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) leader Haji Lashkari Raisani has welcomed talks among opposition parties for a national agenda, saying that the BNP-M will support every action for the supremacy of law and provincial rights.

“We haven’t formed a coalition with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) at the Centre, but are sitting on independent benches after offering conditional support for the federal government against our six demands,” Lashkari said in an interview to a private channel on Thursday.

He expressed concern over slow implementation of BNP-M’s demands. Time and again the party has been calling PTI’s attention towards the six-point agenda, he added.

“During our party’s central committee meeting the other day we constituted a committee that will present its report regarding fulfilment of our demands and will start negotiations with the federal government,” he said.

To a query regarding in-house change at the Centre, Lashkari said an alliance between the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz might be annoying the government.

“BNP-M can support any party for the sake of supremacy of parliament and provincial rights,” Raisani said, adding that the party was ready for talks with anyone for provincial autonomy.
