ISLAMABAD, Sept 2: People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPP) MNA from Lyari area of Karachi Sardar Nabil Gabol on Friday lashed out at the Musharraf regime for hurting the sentiments of Baloch people and Bugti tribe by not handing over the body of late Nawab Akbar Bugti to his family members for a respectable burial.

Talking to a group of reporters at the Parliament House cafeteria, the PPP MNA said the government had committed great excesses with the family members of late Akbar Bugti by burying him on the land of their enemy.

Mr Gabol also condemned the regime for not showing the body of late Bugti to any person, including the journalists who had reached Dera Bugti to cover the event.

He said it seemed that the government was hiding the body because it feared that this could reveal several facts regarding the military operation in which Akbar Bugti was killed.

The PPP MNA asked Gen Musharraf to quit both the offices as he had endangered the federation of Pakistan. He termed it a target killing and said the judiciary should take suo motu notice of the assassination of Akbar Bugti. He said Gen Musharraf had openly threatened and declared his intentions of attacking his opponents in Balochistan with deadly weapons during his previous speeches.

Mr Gabol said the opposition was united against the designs of the military rulers and it would launch a decisive and final struggle against the government to end military’s role in politics and for complete and genuine democracy in the country.
