After a meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari, Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani will return to Quetta for the last provincial cabinet meeting, scheduled for March 17.
Governor rule had been imposed in Balochistan after the twin Quetta blasts in January, the constitutional term for which ended on March 14.
However, Raisani, who had reportedly tendered his resignation in wake of the governor rule being imposed, met President Zardari to resolve various issues which included political tensions, governor’s rule, and other issues in Balochistan.
Zardari managed to convince the disgruntled chief minister to return and see out the last couple of days of the government.
Raisani later told media that his reservations had been addressed and that he would be re-joining the provincial government.
It is expected that Raisani will return to Quetta late on Friday or early morning on Saturday.
Earlier in the week, federal minister Khursheed Shah and his contingent had also held a meeting with Raisani to persuade him that dissolution of Balochistan Assembly should take place with other provinces.
