Govt finding peaceful solution to Balochistan crisis: Nawaz
The BNP-M chief briefed the PM about the current security situation in the province.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has met with the Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal in Islamabad on Friday.
According to the spokesperson of PM House, the leaders discussed the deteriorating law and order situation in Balochistan that has crippled the provincial administration.
Moreover, Mengal informed the prime minister about the current status of the city and also enlightened him about the measures taken for improvement in the province.
Calling Balochistan crisis as one of the most important issue, Nawaz assured Mengal that federal government was trying to resolve the matter on priority basis.
Furthermore, he added that government was also bringing all the political parties and leaders of Balochistan to the table so that the problem could be solved in a peaceful manner.
According to sources, Mengal has always preferred Nawaz over the federal government for political discussions on the Balochistan crisis.
Last September, the Baloch leader had refused to meet a team of federal ministers, including Law and Justice Minister Farooq H Naek, in Islamabad.
Mengal, who lives in self-exile in the United Arab Emirates, returned to Pakistan in March.
