JI recommends APC to resolve Balochistan issues: Expressing grave concern over the dismal situation of Balochistan, Jamaat-e-Islami leader Liaquat Baloch has recommended that All Parties Conference should be convened to resole all issues including missing persons, extra judicial arrests, targeted killings and interference of intelligence agencies in the province’s affairs.
“We accept our defeat in the May 11 polls since we could not achieve the desired results,” he said during a news conference here at the Press Club Monday. He denounced the issues of decomposed dead bodies, enforced disappearances and targeted killings in the Balochistan. He stressed for joint efforts by all political forces to resolve the issues.  “I recommend Balochistan Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik Baloch to convene an APC to sort out a solution with consensus,” he added. The JI leader regretted that massive rigging took place during the May 11 electoral process, so the JI vehemently rejected the results of two constituencies in Karachi and Hyderabad.
He demanded that re-elections should be held in the constituencies under supervision of the Army.  “If polls are not held, the issues would remain unresolved,” he said adding that until the United States along with its allies did not quit Afghanistan, the situation would not improve in the region.
