QUETTA – Secretary General of Balochistan National Party-Awami and Provincial Agriculture Minister Mir Asadullah Baloch has denied that approval was sought from provincial coalition cabinet for deployment of Frontier Corps in different troubled areas of the province.
He said that FC should be sent back to barracks and the expenditure on it should be utilised for providing the clean drinking water and education facilities to the local people. Briefing reporters on the decisions taken after a two-day central executive committee meeting, Asadullah Baloch said that PPP government after coming into power offered apologies for the past injustices to Balochistan, but the Musharraf regime’s policies still continued.
He said that an unannounced military operation in different areas of the province was being carried out against Baloch people, the Baloch youth were being abducted and their decomposed dead bodies thrown in the streets. He said that establishment in fact was ruling the country under controlled democracy by adopting the give and take policy while Balochistan was being ruled on the pattern of colony.
He said that provincial coalition cabinet was not taken into confidence while calling Frontier Corps for operation in different areas and his party had its reservations, adding that being a political and democratic force, BNP-A did not believe in use of force for resolving the political issues.
