Speaking at a press conference at the press club on Thursday he stated that the PPP, PML-N and the electronic media were least interested in the resolution of the Balochistan issue.
               
Dr. Lehri asserted that federal advisor Rehman Malik and provincial government has presented fake list regarding the missing persons in Balochistan and maintained that if the government was sincere to resolve the missing persons issue than they should trace the number of the missing persons as prescribed in the BRP list.

He alleged that the security forces have killed three Bugti tribesmen wherein the dead bodies of aforementioned persons were thrown in Chaman and Pishin areas adding that state atrocities could not force the party leadership to abandon the struggle against the oppressors.
