I have no mandate - Cheif minister Raisani

The Baloch Hal News

ISLAMABAD: Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani has ruled out any chances of talks with Baloch nationalist parties and armed organizations as he acknowledged lacking the required mandate to maintain peace in Balochistan.

In an interview with Ahmed Raza of BBC Urdu service, the chief minister said that although he realized that his Baloch brothers were quite at odds with him, he strongly upheld the notion that he had no public mandate to hold talks with them as the fact had been ascertained after talks with both President and PM, both of whom were equally helpless in this case.
Referring to any breakthrough in Balochistan Package, the CM Balochistan said that, setting up of proposed cantonments had been canceled, while after its exit from the Sui region, Army had returned to its barracks in Quetta, with Sui handed over to FC.

He maintained that since it had taken 63 years to address the grievances of Baloch, it would take a lot of time for the situation to take turn for better.

He said his son was on the ‘hit-list’ of the Baloch armed groups just like many Baloch nationalist leaders like Mir Hasil Khan Bizenjo and Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch. He said he was as much a nationalist as anyone else. The current wave of target killings was the outcome of internal fights among the nationalist groups.
Talking about the report of Amnesty international regarding the missing persons, he said that there were underground organizations operating globally, who indulge in abductions and killings, citing himself and his own son being on the hit list, among many others. He said that he was aware of many of missing persons being in Kabul, while many were petty criminals. “Amnesty Intentional is exaggerating,” said the Chief Minister, “dead bodies have been recovered but to say forty of them were found is unrealistic.”
He condemned the target killing of Punjabi settlers in Balochistan and hoped for some progress in connection to the recovery of the missing persons. However, he offered the Baloch nationalists to accept his offer for negotiations.

He said that as the war of personal gains begins, the Baloch underground who claimed to be fighting for ‘nationalist cause’ were busy killing each other. Referring to target killings in the Province, he would not admit defeat in handling the morbidity, and strongly condemned the killing of settlers, residing in the Province for decades.
