Nawab Bugti’s party condemns Karachi blast
QUETTA, Nov 18: The Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) has condemned the Karachi blast and accused the government of implicating its leader and his tribe in the incident, which it said was a pre-planned conspiracy. Senator Amanullah Kanrani, spokesman and information secretary of the JWP, said in a statement that the government through newspapers and other sources of information was linking the bomb incident with Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti and his tribe.
The statement said that connecting the Karachi blast with the JWP leader and his tribe was nothing but an attempt to sabotage in advance the ARD meeting in Karachi on November 22 besides deceiving the people.
The JWP condemns the incident and disassociates itself from it, the statement concluded.
JAM YOUSUF: Chief Minister Jam Mohammad Yousuf has said that industrialists should be facilitated with all kinds of incentives in the Gwadar industrial estate in order to make it a model estate in the country.
Speaking at a high-level meeting on Friday to review development projects in the Gwadar industrial estate, Mr Yousuf expressed satisfaction over the progress of on-going projects.
He said that industrial estates would play an important role in the progress of Gwadar as a seaport that would also accelerate economic activities in the area.
He further said that according to a rough estimate about 200,000 youths would get jobs directly or indirectly owing to establishment of industries and an export processing zone in Gwadar, and added that both skilled and unskilled local people would benefit from it.
The chief minister stated that Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz was taking keen interest in the industrial estate due to its importance, and added that the federal government was cooperating to make the project successful. He directed that recommendations be prepared for the federal government to announce incentives and exempt financiers from tax so as to attract investment in the area.
Provincial ministers and senior officials attended the meeting.
