QUETTA: Chief of the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said that provincial and federal governments had failed to properly address the Balochistan issue, DawnNews reported.

Addressing a meeting at Imambargah Nechari in Quetta via telephone, the PML-N chief said “atrocities in Balochistan had exceeded all limits”.

The government has become apathetic over the issue and is unresponsive to the situation in Balochistan, Sharif said, adding that there shouldn’t even be a second’s delay in acting against a handful of extremists.

“All political parties have to play a role in this regard,” he said.

“The PML-N would make all possible efforts in its capacity to resolve the issue.”

Consoling the Hazara community which has been facing sectarian prosecution in the province, he said “our party feels their pain”.
