LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Wednesday put conditions for participating in an All Parties Conference (APC) to discuss the crisis in Balochistan.

In a statement PML-N said its President Nawaz Sharif had associated his participation in the APC with the arrest of Nawab Akbar Bugti's killer's and the recovery of missing persons. The PML-N would not be part in the conference if these demands were not met.

On Feb 16, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said that the government would soon convene an APC to discuss and address issues of Balochistan, particularly the law and order situation.
