Key opposi­tion figure­s accuse govt of meddli­ng in their consti­tuenci­esQUETTA : Opposition members on Monday criticised ‘the selected government’ for failing to address the people’s issues and meddling in their constituencies. Leader of the Opposition in Balochistan Assembly Malik Sikandar Advocate, Nawab Aslam Raisani, Malik Naseer Shahwani, Nasrullay Zeeray, Asghar Khan Tareen, Ahmed Nawaz Baloch, Abdul Wahid Siddiqui and Akhtar Hussain Langove while addressing a joint news conference accused the provincial government of ignoring opposition parties in provincial affairs. “We tabled a resolution regarding water issues in District Bhaag but the BAP-led government didn’t take it seriously,” added Sikander while demanding an inquiry into illicit appointments in education and health departments. The opposition leader further lamented that despite holding 12 hours long cabinet meetings they have paralysed government machinery in Balochistan thus we have decided to launch a series of protest inside and outside the assembly against non-serious provincial government. Replying to a query regarding any attempt of no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Jam Kamal, the opposition leader said, we would go for no-confidence move following province’s circumstances.
