JI chief Liaquat Baloch says Balochistan crisis has reached ‘point of no solution’

Islamabad -  Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has blamed the political leadership and Army for the Balochistan crisis, which according to him has reached the “point of no solution”.

 â€œPractical steps are to be taken to address the Balochistan issue and we believe the incumbent government has no solution for this problem,” The Express Tribune quoted the JI leader, who is in Quetta to attend the All Parties Conference convened by Difa-e-Pakistan Council on February 27, as saying.       

 â€œEnforced disappearances and discovery of mutilated bodies in the province have fuelled the already deteriorating situation. This discriminatory attitude should end immediately otherwise the consequences will be dangerous,” he added.
  
Baloch highlighted that now women were also being subjected to enforced disappearances in Balochistan.

“Balochistan has been neglected for the past 64 years and this has led to a trust deficit between the Baloch people and the rulers. This discriminatory attitude provided an opportunity for foreign elements to exploit this situation,” he insisted.

The JI leader further added that the region has a strategic importance and foreign forces will definitely try to ensure their presence here.

“Political leaders and Pakistan Army should realise their responsibility and take practical steps to address the grievances of our Baloch brothers,” he added.
