ISLAMABAD: Balochistan National Party (BNP) chief Akhtar Mengal has parted ways with the incumbent government.
Mengal made this announcement during the National Assembly (NA) session. While addressing the House, he said that his party has waited for two years but no one has bothered to pay attention to their demands despite fully supporting the government in the previous budget.
He said that the PTI had signed two agreements at the time of government formation after the 2018 General Elections and later during the presidential elections, but not a single point of the accord was implemented.
“We will stay in the Parliament and will keep raising the issues,” he added. Earlier in January, BNP-M leaders including MNA Khalid Magsi, Ahsan Ullah Reki, Israr Tareen, Senator Manzoor Kakar, Naseeb Ullah Badini, Rubina Irfan, and Sana Jamali participated in talks with the government as it started efforts to appease its annoyed allies.
However, the BNP-M chief did not participate in the talks. The government side had assured the Baloch leaders that it would address all grievances of the party and would include them in development-oriented decision making.
