ISLAMABAD:As no-confidence motion is drawing closer, Jamhoori Wattan Party (JWP) quit the ruling PTI coalition in Balochistan and the centre, announcing support for the opposition.

Leader of JWP Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti, while talking to media persons along with Pakistan People Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari announced his resignation from federal cabinet as Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM). It may be noted that JWP has one seat each in the National Assembly and the Balochistan Assembly.

Bugti said that Prime Minister did not gave attention to far flung and underdeveloped areas despite making promises and raising slogans of change. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari addressing a press conference along with Shahzain Bugti on the eve of the latter resigning from the federal cabinet, said that this is a timely and courageous decision by Shahzain Bugti.

He said that many respectable politicians who truly represented their constituencies made efforts to raise their voice for the people. Bilawal said: “Imran Khan betrayed his allies the same way that he ditched the people and the opposition. As long as true representatives of Balochistan and all of the country do not come forward, the problems of the people cannot be solved.”

“We are grateful to the Jamhoori Wattan Party and Shahzain Bugti for taking this brave decision. The issues of Balochistan are very complicated and the people of Balochistan have not gotten justice in our history. If we have to save Pakistan, we have to give justice to the people.”

The PPP chairman said that those who are trying to harm Pakistan are wrong to think that they can hurt Pakistan through Balochistan. When we hold free and fair elections, true representatives from all over the country will be elected. Then, the decisions we take together will be for the benefit of the country, says Bilawal.

Chairman Bilawal said that as far as the surprise is concerned, Imran Khan has lost his majority already and it is too late now. All this propaganda and pressurizing will not work now. He said: “The opposition believes in democracy and will use democratic means to drive out this undemocratic man. We would like to congratulate the country on Imran losing his majority and government. Attacking the parliament and threatening of an emergency are all signs of a desperate man.”

The people of Pakistan have learned that the meaning of ‘Naya Pakistan’ is destruction, unemployment and poverty. We will try to help the country emerge from this crisis together, Chairman Bilawal said.
