Balochistan National Party (BNP) Chief Akhtar Mengal has said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has assured us that he would fulfill our six points and while sitting on opposition benches, will remind the government about its pledges.
Talking to the media outside the Parliament House on Monday, he said that tough opposition was the base of a strong democracy and it was responsibility of the opposition to check the government.
He said that in the prevailing circumstances, fulfilling the first 100-day plan of PTI seems to be difficult. “However, nothing was impossible and with commitment and sincere efforts, it can be achieved,” he added.
Mengal said that people of Balochistan were pleased over continuation of democratic system in the country and they wished to see the country developed and prosperous.
He said that this time both the government and opposition were strong and it was hoped that this combination would have positive aspects for the country and its people.
BNP chief said that all the MNAs need to work in the larger interest of the country setting aside the party affiliations and grudges with other political parties. The promises made to the masses could not be fulfilled if political differences will be preferred on national interests, he further stated.
He said that the people of Balochistan were facing multiple problems for the last seven decades. I have come to the Parliament to remove the grievances of people of the province, Akhtar Mengal added.
