Poor Law and Order, Lack of Basic Facilities and Government Failure Creating Hardships for Quetta Residents: National Party
QUETTA: The National Party (NP) has expressed serious concern over the worsening law and order situation, lack of basic facilities and failure of the government to resolve public issues in Quetta, saying citizens are facing increasing difficulties.
The remarks were made during a corner meeting organized by the National Party in preparation for a public gathering scheduled for September 4 on Alamdar Road. The meeting was held at the residence of Central Committee member Dr. Ramzan Hazara and chaired by Central Committee member Niaz Baloch.
National Party Central Spokesperson Ali Ahmed Langove, Niaz Baloch, Dr. Ramzan Hazara, Provincial Human Rights Secretary Aneel Ghauri, Riaz Zehri, Agha Zehn Shah, Sanaullah Khiazai, Arif Kurd, Haji Asghar Ali Hazara and other leaders addressed the meeting. Hanif Kakar moderated the proceedings.
The leaders said the September 4 gathering would play an important role in highlighting public grievances and strengthening the ongoing struggle for their resolution. They urged party workers to accelerate their public outreach campaign and mobilize citizens for the event.
They said the National Party was increasingly emerging as a representative political platform for the Hazara community as well as other ethnic groups, sections and schools of thought living in Balochistan, and would continue its struggle for public rights.
The leaders said the problems faced by the people of Balochistan, particularly Quetta, were becoming increasingly serious. They pointed to deteriorating law and order, the lack of basic facilities and the government’s failure to address public concerns as major causes of hardship for citizens.
They also rejected the government’s policy concerning orchards in Khadkocha and surrounding areas, arguing that the government had failed to establish peace and was now taking measures in desperation that could cause irreparable damage to the people and the provincial economy.
The National Party leaders said Quetta’s problems could not be resolved through claims and announcements alone. They called on citizens to organize and actively struggle for their basic democratic and constitutional rights.
They described the September 4 public gathering as an important step toward further organizing and strengthening the people’s struggle and urged party workers to conduct an extensive public outreach campaign to encourage maximum participation in the event.
