Moot calls for formation of national commission over B'stan
QUETTA: The grand political jirga organized by Jamat-e-Islami (JI) here has called for setting up a high powered national commission with a view to resolve the issues of Balochistan and redressal of the province's deprivations.
Presided over by JI's General Secretary Liaquat Baloch, the grand jirga was attended by Balochistan's prominent political and tribal figures.
In their address, Liaquat Baloch, Ayaz Jogezai, Amir JUI (Ideological) Maulana Asmatullah, National Party's Dr Abdul Malik Baloch, Balochistan National Party's Ghulam Nabi Marri and others described the situation in Balochistan as worrisome. They were of the opinion that fruitful results cannot be achieved through use of force.
The stance adopted by Akhtar Mengal before the Supreme Court deserve serious attention and steps be taken in its light to launch a search for the missing persons, they demanded.
They also called for the formation of a national commission comprising impartial members that can play the role of a bridge between the dissenting youth headed toward mountains and the state.
The speakers appealed to the Supreme Court to review its decision regarding the un-registered vehicles, as people earned their two-times bread by using such vehicles.
