QUETTA: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s chief Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that peace could not prevail in Balochistan unless those responsible for the injustices were not held accountable, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to a gathering in Quetta, Nawaz lamented that “no action” had yet been taken on the Kharotabad incident.

Nawaz said the government should pacify the people of Balochistan, adding that, peace could not be established in the province until the longstanding issues pertaining to it remain unresolved.

The PML-N chief questioned the government’s approach towards the Akbar Bugti killing case and the issue of “tortured bodies surfacing from several parts of the province”.

Nawaz further said that the Balochistan package was not enough to overcome the miseries of the people of the province and that they should be granted their rights.

He asserted that the PML-N was ready to call an all parties’ conference to resolve Balochistan’s issues.

The PML-N chief moreover said that public mandate was not being respected in Pakistan which was why the country was lagging behind in the race for prosperity.
