PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the new Balochistan government will be run according to (late) Benazir Bhutto’s last book that spoke about “reconciliation”.

Addressing a press conference alongside newly elected Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, the PPP chief was of the view that no single political party could alone resolve all the issues of the country’s largest province.

“We should all work together,” he said. Bilawal expressed hope that CM Bugti will visit Gwadar on his first trip because of the devastation caused by heavy rainfall there.

The PPP chief added that the new Balochistan government will fight terrorists and extremists according to the National Action Plan.

“Missing persons has been a contentious issue,” Bilawal said. “We will form a parliamentary committee over this issue and also invite other political parties to come sit with us.”
