Akhtar Mangel who is the former chief minister of Balochistan said that Balochistan issue could only be resolved by acceptance of rights of Balochi people over resources and it is not only the matter of provincial autonomy. Addressing a public gathering at Kakri Ground here, Mengal said that not a single Baloch was against development but when development was associated with someone's vested interests they would not agree." The rulers always allege that the sardars (chieftains) in Balochistan are against development, but let me ask why the rulers aren't initiating development projects in the rest of the Balochistan? Which Sardar is forcing the rulers to stop the development of Lyari? If the rulers are really concerned for the Baloch people then first they must develop Lyari." He urged to end gang war in Lyari. Mengal added that struggle would continue till the acceptance of Balochistan rights over resources.
