Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) chief Mehmood Khan Achakzai said on Thursday there is a need to restructure the 1973 Constitution in order to protect the country’s “oppressed nations” from decades-long injustices.
During his visit to Quetta Press Club, the PkMAP chief said that Pakistan is a country where several nations with distinct cultures live, and it is time to end the decades’ long injustices done to the some nations living here. If proper rights are not given, he added, it would result in terrorism and hatred among people.
“Everyone wants to live in a Pakistan where their rights are protected. The Baloch, Pakhtun and other suppressed nations should be given rights of ownership on their land and resources,” he said.

@A J Khan: Mahmood Khan is one of the very few honorable politicians left in this damned country, and who you are calling the "oppressed" are the "tarbiyat bakhta" youthiyas of PTI. Whose only job I think is to hurl abuses at every one and every one.
Correct....protect them from people like you.
This guy fully supports both the PML-N and PPP government, he is not sincere. They have been a part of Baluchistan assembly for so long yet they have done absolutely nothing.
Mahmood Khan after getting bashing from oppressed for supporting the oppressors. he has now changed his stance to get votes in the forth coming elections.
