ISLAMABAD:
After a meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari, Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raeesani will return to Quetta for the last provincial cabinet meeting scheduled for March 17, Express News reported on Friday.
Governor rule had been imposed in Balochistan after the twin Quetta blasts in January. The Constitutional term for Governor rule ended on March 14.
However, Raisani, who had reportedly tendered his resignation in wake of the governor rule being imposed, met President Zardari to solve various issues. These included political tensions, the governor rule, and other issues in Balochistan.
Zardari though managed to convince the disgruntled chief minister to return and see out the last couple of days of the government.
Raisani later told the media that his reservations had been addressed and that he would be re-joining the provincial government.
It is expected that Raisani will either return to Quetta late on Friday or early on Saturday morning.
Earlier in the week, Federal minister Khursheed Shah and his contingent also held a meeting with Raisani to persuade him that dissolution of the Balochistan assembly should take place with other provinces.
