LAHORE: Jamhoori Watan Party leader Talal Akbar Bugti has said that his party will take part in the upcoming general elections  if intelligence agencies stopped their interference in Balochistan’s internal affairs, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to the media at Lahore airport, Bugti said that those who label the Baloch people as enemies of the state are not faithful to Pakistan themselves.

Bugti also said that he will meet PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif on Monday and discuss the situation in Balochistan.

He said that Akhtar Mengal’s six point plan was also put forward by him years ago. He also demanded to know as to why not one person has been arrested in relation to the killings of the Baloch, Hazara’s and Punjabi’s in the province.

The Jamhoori Watan Party leader also said that the people of Punjab have always given their support to their Baloch brothers.
