QUETTA: In a blow to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), former senator and the ruling party’s leader from Balochistan Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani, on Sunday joined the Balochistan National Party (BNP). Along with Raisani, a large number of other political workers also parted ways with PML-N and joined BNP. Talking to supporters, he said that Balochistan has always been ignored and deprived of its due rights by the rulers. Lashkari Raisani is the younger brother of former Balochistan chief minister Nawab Mohammad Aslam Raisani. He had resigned from the post of PPP president for Balochistan in April 2012 and joined PML-N in March 2013.
