In the message, the chief minister said that he was surprised that the General Secretary of BAP had made Zahoor Buledi the President in violation of all the rules and regulations of the party while he was still holding the post of President.
It may be recalled that Jam Kamal is still the party president of BAP. However, according to the BAP notification circulating on social media, BAP general secretary Manzoor Khan Kakar nominated Zahoor Buledi as the acting president of the party.
According to the notification, intra-party elections will be held in BAP after the resignation of Jam Kamal, before which the presence of the acting president is required. However, according to Jam Kamal Khan’s Twitter message, he has withdrawn his resignation.
Earlier, outraged members of the BAP and their allies filed a no-confidence motion against CM Jam Kamal Khan, which deepened the political crisis.
Other leaders including Saeed Hashmi, Jan Jamali, Mir Zahoor Ahmed Buledi, and Asad Baloch were also present at the time of filing the petition in the Secretariat of Balochistan Assembly two days ago. Zahoor Buledi said that unemployment and unrest were on the rise in the province.
