QUETTA, April 27: The Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) MNA, Mir Ghulam Haider Bugti, has declined to accept the invitation of Prime Minister Mir Zafrullah Khan Jamali to attend a government- opposition meeting in Islamabad on Monday.

The Pukhoonkhwa Milli Awami Party and Balochistan National Party-Mengal leadership has yet to decide about the participation in the meeting.

Jamhoori Watan Party sources said that the government should have extended the invitation to the JWP leadership instead of asking the members in individual capacity.

The Pukhtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party (PMAP) Provincial President, Mr Abdur Rauf, told Dawn on Sunday that the party leadership would discuss the invitation to Mahmood Khan Achakzai and then it would decide what had to be done.

The Balochistan National Party-Mengal Central Secretary-General, Mr Habib Jalib Baloch, told Dawn that the party had received no formal invitation so far.
