Shahzain Bugti quits PTI govt after talks with Bilawal Bhutto

ISLAMABAD, March 27: President Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) and Special Assistant to PM on Reconciliation and Harmony in Balochistan Shahzain Bugti has announced to quit the PTI government, saying he had enough of the unfulfilled promises Prime Minister Imran Khan had made for the development of the province.
Shahzain Bugti unveiled his decision at a joint news conference with PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari following their meeting focusing on the prevailing political situation in the country keeping in view the no-confidence motion submitted against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Shahzain Bugti informed the newsmen about his party’s decision to part ways with the PTI government and resignation from the federal cabinet. He remarked: “The government had failed to deliver in Balochistan. The federal government gave us hope that things will improve with its promise to focus on the underdeveloped areas but the people have been disappointed.”
The JWP chief further said, “We are standing with the Pakistan Democratic Movement and will do whatever we can.”
On his part, Bilawal Bhutto described Shahzain Bugti’s resignation as a “brave decision”. He said that Shahzain Bugti had tried to work with the government during the past three years but it had betrayed both its people and the opposition, adding that PM Imran had “used his allies”.
Bilawal while thanking Shahzain Bugti said that the MNA had sent a clear-cut message to the Pakistani people. “The people are looking to us to solve their problems. Balochistan’s issues are complicated and our history has not been fair with the people of the province,” the PPP chairman added. – TLTP
