Soomro names Mengal for new President

“Ataullah Mengal is the best choice for the slot of President and to heal the wounds of Baloch people and to bring them into national mainstream politics” Soomro argued.

He lashed out at President Pervez Musharraf adding that Baloch nationalist leader Ataullah Mengal never spoke against the country and only wanted provincial autonomy.

“All politicians including me had always spoke in favour of provincial autonomy to for all federating units which is need of hour to preserve integrity of the country” he added.

Elahi Bakash Soomro said that he had met Baloch nationalist leader Ataullah Mengal umpteen times but the latter never showed interest to become President and only emphasised on provincial autonomy.
