QUETTA, June 19: Police have registered cases against the acting president of Balochistan National Party (BNP) and its three other leaders for making speeches against the provincial government.

Official sources said here on Wednesday that on June 16 the leaders of BNP (Mengal Group) made objectionable speeches against the army and government.

Other leaders against whom cases were registered included Sana Baloch, former MNA; Amanullah Baloch, central chairman of the Baloch Students Organization (BSO) and Manzoor Baloch, provincial president of the BSO.
