KARACHI: Baloch nationalist leader Attaullah Mengal while discussing the issues of Balochistan province with leadership of Jamaat-e-Islami said that the only solution to save Balochistan is to bring the culprits involved in the killing of innocent Baloch to justice, adding that the entire nation recognizes the killers.

In a meeting with representatives of the party including JI Sindh chief Asadullah Bhutto, JI Karachi chief Muhammad Hussain Mehanti and others, Attaullah Mengal said that killing of innocent Baloch by agencies is a serious crime, adding that the resulting situation cannot be controlled by any politician of Pakistan.

On this occasion, Asadullah Bhutto said that East Pakistan got separated due to similar circumstances, adding that the entire country is concerned on Balochistan situation.

He said that all issues are resolved through dialogue but our government only knows the use of force to tackle the problems. He said that the point of no return could be avoided if our leaders pay serious attention to the Balochistan issue.

The JI Sindh chief said that his party has always criticized the abuse of power in the province, adding that the party would raise its voice against the injustice.

He said that Balochistan is the only province of Pakistan where anti-country slogans are being heard. He warned that if the issue was not taken seriously irreparable damage would be done to the national security.
