Observer Report Quetta
An important meeting of members of the Balochistan Assembly, belonging to Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F, was held in Quetta on Friday to discuss the no-trust move the opposition had presented against Chief Minister Jam Kamal.
Sources said that opposition leader in the assembly Malik Iskandir, on the occasion, briefed the JUI-F Central Secretary General Senator Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri on the prevailing political situation in Balochistan.
Meetings with estranged members of the provincial government also came under discussion at the meeting so that the no-confidence move could be successful.
Over a week ago, on September 23, while rubbishing reports of his resignation, Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal had expressed the resolve to face the no-trust motion courageously when it would be tabled in the provincial assembly.
In an interview, he had expressed the hope that he would complete the remaining two years of his stipulated five-year term as CM.
He said members of the Balochistan Assembly belonging to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, Balochistan Awami Party, National Party and Hazara Democratic Party were with him. “However, some of these members have reservations which we will address,” he added.
