QUETTA: The 14th death anniversary of veteran nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Bugti was observed in Quetta and other cities and towns of Balochistan on Wednesday.

The Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) arranged Quran Khawani and a gathering at Bugti House in Quetta in which a large number of party leaders, workers and supporters participated.

The flag of the JWP was flown at half mast at the main secretariat of the party in Quetta and other towns of the province.

A grandson of the late Nawab Bugti and central leader of the JWP, Nawabzada Gohram Bugti, while speaking on the occasion paid rich tribute to the late founder of the party and said that the people of Balochistan were following in the footsteps of Nawab Akbar Bugti.
