Those in Switzerland have no mandate to decide Balochistan fate: Zehri

QUETTA: Chief Minister Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri on Saturday said the so-called leaders living in London and Switzerland had no mandate to decide the fate of Balochistan, adding that the civil and military leadership was on same page to make joint efforts for a bright future of the patriot people of Balochistan.

He was addressing a public gathering held in connection with to observe third death anniversary of Shuhada-e-Zehri at Anjira, Khuzdar. “Our ancestors had decided to become part of the newly-created Pakistan.”

“The so-called leaders living in London and Switzerland have no right and mandate to decide the fate of Balochistan.”

He said if Harbiyar Marri and Brahamdagh Bugti were sincere to the people of Balochistan then they should return back to Pakistan from London and Switzerland to join mainstream politics of the country for the betterment and social welfare of local people.

Zehri said a handful of people could not damage the peace of Balochistan through their anti-peace activities. “Pakistan is homeland of all of us and we will not allow enemies to damage it.”

He said those who had gone to mountains to run armed movement should be aware of that their so-called leaders had been living a luxurious life in London and Switzerland, as he invited them to join mainstream life.

He said his son, brother and other relatives were killed by terrorists as they loved Pakistan.

Commander Southern Command Lt-Gen Aamir Riaz and provincial ministers Nawab Muhammad Khan Shahwani, Sardar Aslam Bizenjo and Mir Sarfraz Bugti also spoke on the occasion.
