Balochistan issue can be solved only by its own people: Chaudhry Shujaat

It’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure peace in the province: PML-Q President

KARACHI: Balochistan issue cannot be solved by the government, Army or the judiciary but only by the people of the province, said Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Sunday.

Speaking to media at the Karachi airport, Hussain said it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure peace in Balochistan. “It is not a matter of six points or one point,” he said referring to the demands made by former provincial chief minister Sardar Akhtar Mengal including the suspension of covert and overt military operations in Balochistan, recovery of missing persons, and disbanding ‘death squads’ operating under the supervision of secret agencies.

Hussain said a party committee, under the leadership of Mushahid Hussain, has chalked out the solutions for the problems of Balochistan which need to be implemented.

The PML-Q leader further said that the popularity of all the political parties will be known to everyone by the end of the next elections.

He added that the issue of law and order in Karachi needs attention from all quarters.
