QUETTA, Sept 4: Provincial president of the PML (youth wing) and its Mastung district president resigned from the party in protest against the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti and vowed to struggle for the rights of Baloch people.

Speaking at separate press conferences held at the press club on Monday, Mir Suleman Bungulzai, PML (youth wing) president, and Mir Mohammad Alam Shahwani, on behalf of Mir Ayub Mengal, Mastung district president, said that Baloch people were deeply shocked by the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti.

They said that in a democratic society it was the right of every political party to present its programme whether other organisations liked their manifesto or not, but neither the ruler nor any political group had the right to kill a leader of a political party.

They said that they had political differences with Nawab Bugti but the way he had been killed and buried was unacceptable to the Baloch people.

They alleged that the federal and provincial governments, including MMA ministers, were responsible for the military operation in the province and the killing of the JWP leader.
