Akhtar Mengal resigns from National Assembly

Balochistan National Party (BNP) Chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal has announced his resignation from the National Assembly on Tuesday.

Mengal resigned from the lower house of parliament over the lack of interest in Balochistan’s issues.

The MNA from NA-256 made the announcement during a press briefing at the Parliament alongside Mehmood Khan Achakzai.

“I had decided today to speak in the Assembly about Balochistan’s problems, but there is no interest in Balochistan’s matters,” Mengal stated.

“I say Balochistan has not just slipped; it’s already gone. Many lives have been lost in Balochistan. Everyone should have come together on this issue”.

He maintained that a meeting should have been called to discuss the matter.

“Even if you want to encounter or kill me outside Parliament, go ahead, but at least listen. We have no one, and no one listens to us,” Akhtar Mengal stated.

It should be noted here that Akhtar Mengal was elected as an MNA from Khuzdar (NA-256) in the general elections held on February 8.
