A Jamaat-e-Islami delegation, led by Secretary General Liaqat Baloch, will attend an APC convened by Balochistan National Party (BNP) chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal, on the China Pakistan Economic Corridor and Gowadar issues. JI deputy chief Man Muhammad Aslam and Balochistan chiefMaulana Abdul Haq Hashmiwill join him at the moot. Liaqat Baloch said in a brief statement that the CPEC was a project of immense importance for national development but differences on the project wereincreasing due to non-seriousness and imprudence of the federal government. He said it was high time that the national leadership was taken into confidence on the entire project so that it did not become controversial and close Pak-China ties were not affected. He urged Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif not to personally deviate from the details of the project that had already been worked out through national consensus evolved at an APC nor allow anyone else to do it.
