QUETTA, Aug 8: The Pakistan Brohi Party on Sunday urged the government to invite Baloch, Brohi, Pukhtun and Hazara leaders of Balochistan to resolve the issues causing tension in Balochistan.

In a statement, the party's president Imam Ali Brohi said its executive committee in a meeting had passed a resolution condemning the military operation and demanded that the government cease army actions immediately in order to settle the contentious issues through negotiations.

He said military actions in Balochistan would hurt the sentiments of people. Such operations should be stopped so that the people could participate in the Independence Day celebrations.

The party said the government instead of setting up cantonments should establish factories to provide employment to thousands of jobless youths. It said the people of Balochistan were loyal to Pakistan. It claimed that President Gen Pervez Musharraf got a large number of votes in the province during the referendum held for his presidency.
