QUETTA, Sept 10: A row has developed in Balochistan PML-N over the distribution of party tickets for national and provincial assemblies polls.

The party’s provincial general-secretary, Khalid Dogar advocate, has levelled serious allegations against Sardar Yaqoob Khan Nasar, provincial pre-sident, and has convened a meeting of the party candidates on Sept 15, to evolve a future strategy.

He said here on Monday that the president and party’s parliamentary board had taken irresponsible decision on awarding party ticket for NA-259 of Quetta, which, he claimed, would badly hit the party position in the province.
