Senior PPP leader Senator Lashkari Raisani, said on Saturday that the disgruntled people of Balochistan sitting in caves could not trust Interior Minister, Rehman Malik as he never speaks the truth.
“I don’t trust Rehman Malik as he has lied to me several times,” Lashkari Raisani said. “Then how can the estranged people living in caves trust Rehman Malik,” he questioned.
The PPP leader said the interior minister was not an authority, and he simply wanted talks by exerting psychological pressure, which would not work. “Rehman Malik is a habitual liar,” he went on to say.
He said the people of Balochistan had rejected the All Parties Conference called by the prime minister. He said the problem of Balochistan could be resolved if serious efforts were made towards this end.
Raisani said the government will have to assure the Balochis that they will be given full rights that are at par with the rights of the other provinces. “The Balochis also feel that they had rented their house to someone, but the tenant later became the owner of their house,” he said.
