QUETTA: Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz’s chief Nawaz Sharif Monday called on the government to honour its commitment and lashed out at the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) over its “delaying tactics” regarding the 17th amendment.
The PML-N chief was addressing the media in Quetta during his visit to Balochistan.
He also demanded the trial of former president Pervez Musharraf for “the extra-judicial murder of Nawab Akbar Bugti”.
Acknowledging the contribution of the Baloch leadership, Sharif said they were instrumental in abolishing the 8th amendment back in 1995.
He further said that merely apologising to the Baloch people would not resolve any of their problems. Nawaz called for the immediate recovery of all missing persons and called on the authorities to address the Baloch people’s grievances.
He also expressed his resolve to continue the struggle for the repealing of the “highly controversial and undesirable” 17th amendment. — DawnNews
