Mengal for scrapping Gwadar Port, IPI projects

BNP leader Akhtar Mengal has demanded of the government to end all projects including Gwadar Port and IPI gas pipeline launched in Balochistan during the Musharraf-led regime, reported a private TV channel on Sunday.

Addressing a public rally in Kalat, BNP leader said that the rulers had ignored the people of Balochistan time and again. He emphasised on the political and economic injustices the Baloch people are being meted out at the time. He said only the people of Balochistan have a right over their resources in the province, but unfortunately they had not even been consulted before launching or signing any project. He held the rulers responsible for the grudge the people of Balochistan have against the government's policies.
