LAHORE:
PML-N leader, Khawaja Saad Rafique, has asked questions about the will of the government of his own party to find a lasting solution to the crisis in Baluchistan adopting a broader vision.
In a publication about X, Rafique, which does not occupy any government position in the cabinet of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, described the kidnapping of March 11 of Jaffarabad Express by Baloch separatists as a “great tragedy.”
He said that kidnapping is a warning signal of the danger that is coming over the State. Rafique declared that Baluchistan has become a volcanic area, and children from unhappy groups, wisely or without knowing it, in the hands of Pakistan’s enemies.
He said that with the hidden and open support of external forces, armed separatist activities increase day by day. However, PML-N leader urged the powerful circles to try to discover the cause of this discontent.
“Why discuss this issue is considered a crime? Should we observe how the situation worsens?
He also questioned whether the leadership was ready to listen, address the problem and find a long -term solution. He also asked who the State should fight and who should have negotiations with.
“When, where and how will this critical decision be made? Who will present a durable political and economic solution, and when it will happen?” asked.
On March 11, dozens of armed terrorists kidnapped Jaffarabad Express, bound for Peshawar in the Bolan district. Later, the security forces launched an operation and killed all the terrorists.
