Will pull out FC if Sharif takes responsibility to fix Balochistan issue: Kaira
Kaira says PPP does not please people by sloganeering like Sharif.
LAHORE:
Federal Minister for Information Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Tuesday that if Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif takes the responsibility of resolving security issues in Balochistan then the government will pull out the Frontier Corps from the province, Express News reported.
Speaking at Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore, Kaira said that the Pakistan Peoples Party-led government has “always owned up” to mistakes made in the past, even “if they were made by previous leaderships.” He said the PPP had been doing this in order to prevent any damage caused to Pakistan’s image.
Kaira said that the PPP does not please people by sloganeering like Sharif.
Responding to a question on why the PPP leadership did not meet former chief minister Balochistan Akhtar Mengal, while other political parties did, Kaira said that it was better to avoid going into details as it would further “increase the bitterness”.
He said that the party had welcome him and that nothing more could be said on the matter.
The PML-N chief had earlier warned that the fluid security situation in the province will worsen if “hidden powers” tried to influence the next parliamentary election.
Following a meeting with Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) leader Talal Bugti in Raiwind, Nawaz had said political forces should be given a chance to play a role in restoring normalcy in Balochistan.
