QUETTA:Malik Khuda Bakhsh Langove, central organizer, Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), has said that some political parties were politicizing the issue of in-camera session of Balochistan Provincial Assembly on Rekodiq copper and gold project, adding that it was the democratic right of all political parties to disagree with the political point of view and manifesto of other political parties, but it was not a political process to impose its own political point of view on the people of Balochistan contrary to the interests of the people of Balochistan.
Addressing a press conference at Quetta Press Club here on Saturday with others, he said that safeguarding the national interests of the people of Balochistan was not only the responsibility of all political parties but it was also their national duty. He remarked that foremost purpose of forming BAP was to protect and safeguard the national interests of Balochistan.
He added that members of Balochistan Provincial Assembly belonging to Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazal), Balochistan National Party (Mengal), Awami National Party (ANP), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Pushtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, Hazara Democratic Party (HDP) and Balochistan National Party (Awami) not only attended in-camera session of Balochistan Provincial Assembly about Rekodiq copper and gold project, but their opinions on the issue were also sought.
Being head of National Party and erstwhile Chief Minister Balochistan with in-depth knowledge about CPEC and Rekodiq project, Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch was also invited by the Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo to attend in-camera session of Balochistan Provincial Assembly convened for briefing about Rekodiq project, but he declined the offer on the pretext that he was not the member of Balochistan Provincial Assembly, said Langove. He called on all political parties to come forward and play their due role for the progress and prosperity of Balochistan rather than politicizing the issue of in-camera session of Balochistan Provincial Assembly about Rekodiq.
