MMA: General secretary of the Sindh Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, Dr Khalid Mehmood Soomro, has condemned military ‘operation’ in Balochistan and said it was not the solution of problems.
In a press statement issued here on Monday, he said the Balochistan problem could only be solved through dialogue and not power.
Dr Soomro demanded that all provinces be treated equally.
“Rulers should not make decisions only to please Punjab,” he maintained.
He said the federal government should only control defence, foreign affairs, currency and communication.
