QUETTA, March 7: Nawabzada Talal Akbar Bugti, chief of his own faction of the Jamhoori Watan Party, said on Friday that if the PML-Q succeeded to form its government in Balochistan, the plight of the people of the province would not change.

He blamed President Pervez Musharraf, PML-Q leaders Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Mushahid Hussain Sayed for the excesses against the Baloch people.

He said in a statement that wherever Chaudhry Shujaat and Mushahid Hussain went the people of that area faced a military operation.

He claimed that soon after the opening of dialogue between Nawab Akbar Bugti and the PML-Q leaders in Dera Bugti the security forces launched a military operation which resulted in the killing of the JWP leader.

Similarly when Chaudhry Shujaat held dialogue with the Lal Masjid management, the seminary faced a bloodshed.

The JWP chief said the recent arrival of Shujaat and Mushahid in Quetta was not a good omen for the people of Balochistan.

He warned newly-elected members of the provincial assembly that if they extended cooperation to the PML-Q in forming the government they would be held responsible for the eventual suffering of the Baloch people.

He accused Shujaat and Mushahid of being turncoats who always changed their loyalty to appease the rulers in Islamabad.

He urged the new legislators to act wisely in order to steer the province out of crisis, instead of adding to its hardship.
