Summary BRP chief said Balochistan wouldn't benefit from CPEC but all the benefit would be for Punjab
GENEVA: (Dunya News) – Baloch Republican Party (BRP) head Brahamdagh Bugti has on Monday said that the Baloch people had no say in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He added that the economic corridor would only help Punjab and there will be no benefits for Baloch people, reported Dunya News.
Talking to Dunya News on ‘Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Saath’, Brahamdagh Bugti said that no Baloch politician was consulted on CPEC. He said that only the people of Balochistan had the right to decide whether some thing would be good for them or not.
Responding to a question, Brahamdagh said that there was no such problem in Balochistan that couldn’t be resolved. He said that the Balochistan problem would be solved through talks, not guns. “We want a political solution of the Balochistan issue”, he said. He said his return to Pakistan was not a problem. “The problem is Balochistan. I have no interest in returning to Pakistan”, he said.
Brahamdagh said that the government was befooling the people of Pakistan on the issue of the separatists. “As far as we know, nobody laid down any arms”, he said. However, he added that the Balochistan issue must be resolved through talks.”We never refused to talk to the government. We are ready for the talks any time. But I was contacted only once. They didn’t contact me again”, he said.
