QUETTA: Chief of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Balochistan, Nawab Sanaullah Zehri has said that his party's ministers had reservations and complaints from National Party (NP) led nationalists' government in the province.

He expressed these views while talking to reporters at Quetta airport on Sunday evening.

Other PML-N leaders including Asim Kurd Gailo, Jamal Shah Kakar flanked him on the occasion.

Nawab Zehri lamented that CM Secretariat was serving the interests of one political party and ignoring his party's leaders and workers.

"PML-N ministers have submitted their resignations with me," he announced.

He said a meeting of parliamentary party members was being convened to discuss reservations and complaints of elected representatives.

"Despite having majority in the house, we supported Dr. Malik Baloch," Nawab Zehri said, adding that his party could easily form a government in Balochistan but preferred to support nationalists.

"We are the single largest party in the province," he mentioned.

Zehri's comments have come a week after Home Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfaraz Bugti said that his party's ministers were powerless in the coalition government.

Nawab Zehri however assured that despite all odds, he was determined to support Dr. Malik Baloch-led government in Balochistan.

"We want the government to continue, but our grievances have to be addressed," he explained.

He also cited the example of Sardar Akhtar Mengal's government and recalled that when Sardar Mengal bypassed late Nawab Bugti, his government was overthrown.

"I warned Akhtar Mengal at that time to keep Bugti on board, but he did not," he said.
