BNP(M) to observe strike on 10th

Published August 6, 2002

HUB, Aug 5: The Balochistan National Party (Mengal) and Baloch Students’ Organization (M) on Monday announced to observe a wheel-jam strike in the province on Aug 10 against the killing of their leaders and for the arrest of the killers.

BNP(M) Finance Secretary Qasim Roonjho talking to newsmen at the party’s district office during his visit to Hub alleged that the law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies were hatching conspiracy against the people of Balochistan.

“Let it be clear that our struggle for the rights of Balochistan would continue,” he said.

He said Balochistan had been held hostage by Punjab and its agencies since the creation of Pakistan and the people of the province had been deprived of their rights.

The BNP leader said Balochistan had been deprived of its resources.

Roonjho appealed to the people of Balochistan, particularly the transporters, to keep their vehicles indoor so that pressure could be built on the regime.
