Member of the treasury benches Mehmood Hayat Khan Tochi demanded of
the government to take notice of the recent visits of American
Ambassador Cameron Munter to Balochistan and South Punjab, adding that
the efforts are going on to open new consulates.
He said that the US should be stopped from interfering in the
internal matter of Pakistan, adding that the government should take
notice of the statements of Cameron Munter.
This he said while talking part in debate on the overall law and
order situation in the country with particular reference to the
situation in Karachi and Quetta.
Taking part in the debate Shireen Arshad Khan said Karachi is the
business hub of the country and all the major political parties are
duty bound to play their role for maintenance of law and order in the
port city. She said there are reports that situation is improving in
the city but regrettably the statement against any political figure
brings the whole city to a standstill. She said solid steps needs to be
taken and those involved in the criminal acts should be brought to
justice irrespective of their affiliations.
Voicing concerns over the situation in Karachi and Balochistan,
Abdul Wasim said that harmony and cohesion should be promoted by
respecting the rights of all the communities to bring peace. He said
that the country is facing multiple challenges and attention should be
diverted towards the resolution of problems faced by the common man.
Laiq Muhammad Khan said all the political parties should sit
together to seek out a political solution of Karachi. He pointed out
that the worsening law and order situation in the city has rendered
thousands of people jobless and they are returning to their places of
origin.
Mehmood Hayat Khan Tochi said under a well planned conspiracy a
divide is being created on ethnic and linguistic basis in Karachi which
is not a good omen for the entire country. He said the political
parties should desist from confrontationist approach and hold dialogue
for revival of sustainable peace in the strategically important city.
Raja Muhammad Safdar said that grievances of Baloch people should be
addressed on priority basis and the murderers of Nawab Muhammad Akbar
Khan Bugti be brought to justice for peace in Balochistan. SANA
