ISLAMABAD: President Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) Sardar Akhtar Mengal has claimed that the government does not have the power to hold talks with insurgents in Balochistan. He expressed doubts over the possibility of government’s dialogue with the insurgents in the province and termed it as non-starter, adding that he thought the government was not serious about the process. “There are two areas in the region where the establishment has kept powers to itself. One is occupied Kashmir, and the second is Balochistan,” said Mengal in an interview.
Prime Minister Imran Khan affirmed on Monday that the government was planning to reach out to the estranged Baloch youth for the sake of peace in Balochistan. He added that Pakistan’s foes had used those elements in the past, but the situation has entirely changed. Later, Khan appointed JWP chief MNA Shahzain Bugti as his Special Assistant on reconciliation and harmony in Balochistan.

They were told to pack up quickly and leave; their destination was Pakistan. Communal riots had broken out and there was an imminent threat to the RIMC. They were first escorted by a Gurkha posse and later evacuated to Lahore under Colonel (later general) Tikka Khan.
