QUETTA, July 31: The All Parties Conference of JUI remained inconclusive due to non-participation of the opposition parties in the Balochistan Assembly.

A committee has been formed to contact nationalist groups and persuade them to attend the next meeting in near future.

Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani, provincial chief of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-Fazlur Rehman), briefing reporters at the MPA hostel on Saturday, said that the party was trying to gather all political parties for a collectively struggle for the rights of the province.

He said that representatives of the PML-N, PML, Jamaat-i- Islami, BNP-Awami and Jamiat Ulema Pakistan attended

the conference whereas the Awami National Party representative could attend the

deliberation due to the Chaman incident.

He said that the participants of the conference decided to form a committee to meet the representatives of the opposition parties in the provincial assembly and discuss the agenda for the next meeting.

The committee, led by Maulana Amir Zaman, would comprise Balochistan Assembly Speaker Jamal Shah Kakar, Khuda Noor (PML- N), Arbab Hashim Kasi (PML), Abdullah Baloch (BNP-Awami) and Abdul Haq Hashim (Jamaat-i-Islami).

Maulana Sherani said that important points of the agenda include the federal government's interferences in provincial matters, mega projects, farmers issue, law and order situation, Balochistan share in the federal PSDP, constitutional rights of the province, provincial autonomy, tribal disputes and others.
