He said only patriotic and genuine political leadership could steer the country out of challenges. He urged the politicians to understand the gravity of the situation in the country as Balochistan is on the verge of destruction due to the inept policies of the politicians. 'East Pakistan debacle was the outcome of partial behaviour of the rulers, Altaf Hussain recounted and ,added, that if people in the corridors of power did not pay attention to the situation in Balochistan then they must prepare themselves to face another fiasco in the country.
