Baloch nationalist parties must unite, says KachkolQUETTA: Kachkol Ali Baloch, leader of the opposition in the Balochistan Assembly, on Sunday urged all Baloch nationalist parties to unite to fight their ‘common enemy’.
Addressing National Party workers in Panjgur district, Kachkol said that Nawab Akbar Bugti’s killing had given a new direction to Baloch nationalist politics where the need for defending the Baloch land, resources and coast had become paramount. He added that all nationalist forces should unite to turn Bugti’s dream of a single Baloch nationalist party into a reality. “We need to prefer Baloch nationalism over the Pakistani parliament. All nationalist leaders should think above party affiliations by giving the Baloch cause supremacy over other issues. A single Baloch party is the need of the hour for the Baloch,” said Kachkol. He said that it was useless for the Baloch leaders to continue sitting in “powerless” assemblies, adding that the National Party was considering quitting the assemblies. staff report
