QUETTA - Balochistan National Party President Sardar Akhtar Mengal has said that his party would not be part of any negotiations with rulers without presence and guarantee of United Nations.

He expressed these views while addressing a Press conference here flanked with the central Secretary General of party Habib Jalib Advocate and other leaders of his party at his residence. “Baloch cannot be deceived any more in the name of committees and negotiations,” he added.

To a question, he said the BNP was a political party and it had not closed its doors for negotiations but as far as negotiations with the rulers of this country are concerned, his party will be ready provided that presence and guarantee of UN or its any organisation are there.

He said the Baloch had been deceived for last 60 years in the name of committees and negotiations. “Now they cannot be deceived in the name of committees,” he added.

Responding to yet another question, he said that his party wanted right of self- determination under UN charter. He said, “Baloch want that self- determination which is being demanded for Kashmiris by rulers of the country”.

He said that people in Balochistan were expecting a better change after general elections in 2008 but they could not realize this change.

“They felt a worst change during the tenure of incumbent government as compared to government of Pervez Musharraf,” he said, adding: “Number of check posts have been increased in Quetta city as compared to previous government”.

He said that workers of his party had fallen prey to incidents of target killings and the alleged involvement of secret agencies could not be ruled out.

Sardar Akhtar Mengal said that the national council session of his party would be held on June 28 and added that important decisions would be taken in this meeting regarding Balochistan.
