Talal Bugti calls for grand alliance
Bugti hopes patriotic parties would form ‘grand alliance’ to foil ‘conspiracies’ against country’s solidarity.
LAHORE:
Baloch leader Nawabzada Talal Bugti said on Tuesday that undemocratic forces ruling the country under President Asif Ali Zardari were planning to rig the upcoming elections to remain in power and “continue their loot and plunder”.
The Jamhoori Watan Party leader expressed hope that patriotic parties would join hands to form a ‘grand alliance’ to foil ‘conspiracies’ against the country’s solidarity.
Addressing a press conference along with Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan, Talal said former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, who he blamed for undermining Pakistan’s solidarity and for Nawab Akbar Bugti’s murder, would meet a suitable fate. The Baloch leader also held Musharraf responsible for the Lal Masjid operation and handing over Dr Aafia Siddiqui to the US.
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Munawar Hasan said that Akbar Bugti’s assassins must be held accountable in order to foil “US designs” in the region.
Hasan announced that the JI would soon hold a public meeting at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore, to support Talal Bugti and ensure that his voice becomes the voice of the nation.
