KARACHI, Aug 30: Chief of the Pakistan Muslim League-Functional Pir Pagara has condoled the demise of Nawab Akbar Bugti with his son, Talal Bugti. Pir Pagara noted that what had happened with Nawab Bugti was the same that had happened with Pir Sibghatullah Shah Rashdi, his father, during the British rule.

Talking to a group of journalists at his Kingri House residence on Wednesday, he said the difference between the two incidents was that the late Rashdi had raised his voice against the English rulers while the late Nawab had dared to challenge our own military rulers.
