QUETTA: Chief of Balochistan National Party (Mengal), Sardar Akhtar Mengal has said that European Union (EU) should not cancel sending of its observers to Balochistan to monito the upcoming general elections, at the behest of establishment.

Addressing a press conference at his residence on Thursday, Sardar Akhtar Mengal demanded that the EU and international community send observers to Balochistan to monitor the fast approaching general elections.

"Their presence would help in ensuring fair polls", Sardar Mengal added.

He demanded of the EU to probe into the injustices with Baloch masses committed by the establishment.

Sardar Mengal said that the establishment does not want EU observers to monitor the elections as part of conspiracies hatched to keep his party away from the elections.

He said Balochistan's situation was not worse than other war zones of the world where  the EU had sent observers.

BNP chief said former ministers were still using official vehicles and resources in the election and urged the Election Commission of Pakistan to take notice of it.

He also demanded the transfer of old bureaucrats from different districts of Balochistan.
