Govt not taking 'burning' Balochistan problem seriously: Asma Jehangir

President Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Asma Jehangir has said the government has never been serious about resolving the problems of Balochistan. Addressing a seminar titled "On Critical Issues of Balochistan, Suggestions and Solutions", Jehangir said the government had never made a committee of members, who would settle the issues by holding talks with the concerned people. "The statements from the government leaders are irrelevant and are never followed by serious negotiations on the Balochistan issue. Pakistan's sovereignty is attached with the Balochistan and peace is necessary in this region for strengthening the country," Asma said. She categorically said that the government should send back the Frontier Corps to their military barracks because peace cannot be restored without taking this step.
