KARACHI, Oct 1: Jamaat-i-Islami central leader MNA Maulana Abdul Haq Baloch has said that operation was no solution to the Balochistan issue and it should be solved through dialogue.

Talking to a delegation of Ulema belonging to Dera Bugti at Quba Auditorium, he said that after killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti the Bugti tribe was being pressurised to transfer its unregistered properties to the government.

He termed this act a first step towards snatching rights of local people. He asserted that Baloch citizens were not against the country, as they were just demanding their fundamental rights.—PPI
