BNF not to hold talks with govt

Published November 27, 2008

QUETTA, Nov 26: Leaders of the Baloch National Front said on Wednesday that they would not hold talks with the government because its Balochistan policy was aimed at maligning the resistance movement.

Addressing a press conference, BNF leader Khalil Baloch, who is secretary general of the Baloch National Movement, called upon the international community to take notice of excesses committed against the Baloch people.

He said that the BNF, comprising Baloch Republican Party, Baloch Watan Movement and Baloch Bar Association, was fighting for Baloch rights and believed that the coasts and natural resources of Balochistan could be protected only by an armed struggle.
