Speaking at a Press conference at his residence here on Wednesday, the former federal minister emphasized that the government should use all its resources to take the Balochistan people into confidence over development projects in the province so that development activities were not hampered in the province.
He said the unrest in Balochistan and tribal areas and an insecure border with Afghanistan were serious challenges created by wrong policies of the rulers to protect US interests.
"Change of three prime ministers in a short time, army action in Balochistan and Wana, terrorists' attacks on COAS and Karachi Corps Commander, blasts and firing of rockets and other cases of lawlessness throughout the country reflected the worst situation.
He said though Afghanistan was a neighbour and a Muslim state, wrong policies of the government reduced Pakistan's influence there and this situation had been fully exploited by India.
