Jamaat-e-Islami has strongly condemned the killing of innocent tourists in Pahalgam, located in the Indian-occupied Kashmir, holding the Indian occupying forces responsible for the incident.
Addressing a press conference in Quetta alongside provincial office-bearers, Jamaat-e-Islami's Naib Ameer Liaquat Baloch announced that the party will soon organize an All Parties Conference in Islamabad to highlight the pressing issues of Balochistan.
He said that all political parties and stakeholders from various walks of life would be invited to participate.
Baloch asserted that it is the responsibility of the federal government to listen to the people of Balochistan, warning that the current indifference poses a threat to national security.
He clarified that India has no unilateral authority to revoke the Indus Waters Treaty, as international guarantors are signatories to the agreement.
Commenting on the political and economic situation of the country, he said that democracy is being ridiculed by denying the public their right to vote. Institutions such as the military, judiciary, and bureaucracy have emerged as dominant forces at every level.
Baloch also announced a nationwide protest on April 26 to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
