Zehri concerned over
Islamabad situation
Balochistan Chief Minister, Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri, has expressed grave concern over law and order situation created by ‘specific group’ in Islamabad.
In a Press statement, Chief Minister asserted a democratic govt under an elected Prime Minister was ruling in country and had heavy public mandate, but, regretfully, the PTI under the leadership of inexperienced Imran Khan had adopted unconstitutional way and lawlessness to derail the elected regime.
He feared this would foment conflict in national political outlook which would obviously jeopardise democratic system.
He again appealed to the PTI leadership to respect the democratic norms and let the Prime Minister administer govt with politeness.
