KARACHI, June 18: The Balochistan crisis can not be resolved by use of force but by giving autonomy to provinces. Calling for an immediate end to the ongoing army operation in Balochistan, speakers at a memorial meeting held in Lyari on Sunday eulogized the services of Baloch nationalist leader late Yusuf Naskandi, who remained committed throughout his life with the BNM.

Among those who spoke at the meeting were the National Workers Party’s Secretary General, Yusuf Masti Khan, NWP leaders Akhter Hussain, Usman Baloch, Lal Bux Rind, Sher Muhammad Baloch of Jamhoori Watan Party, Ghulam Muhammad of Baloch National Movement, Rafique Engineer of the PPP and others.

They urged the government to find political solution of the Balochistan problem.
