‘PPP, MQM hindering NAP’

LAHORE

Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Liaqat Baloch has said that the anti-people attitude of the Pakistan Peoples Party and the MQM caused a serious setback to the National Action Plan against terrorism and the targeted operation in Karachi.

Talking to delegations in the Punjab capital after an extensive tour to Sindh and Quetta, Liaqat Baloch said the situation was moving in the right direction under the NAP but the hue and cry by the PPP and the MQM for the protection of criminals had once again made the situation uncertain.

He said that the unwise strategy of the federal government had also helped in worsening the situation.

He said the PPP row with Interior Minister Ch. Nisar Ali Khan had a specific motive. However, he said, the masses wanted an end to corruption and poverty and terrorism and the country could not afford a compromise with the corrupt and those patronising terrorism. 

Liaqat Baloch said the biggest challenge before the new government in Balochistan was to solve the law and order problem and undertake economic development of the province.

He also urged the government to take the Baloch youth into confidence for the development of Gwadar.
