“Well-wishers of Balochs forgot after getting ministries”
“Well-wishers of Balochs forgot everything after getting government positions”, Maulana Hidayat ur Rehman claimed. He said present rulers were least bothered about the plight of the people in Gwadar and the solution to their issues.
“They are interested in ministries rather than serving the Baloch masses”, the Maulana said. The GRM Chief lashed out at the provincial and federal governments for their failure to address the issues pertaining to the port city of the country.
The protesters have blocked the main Gwadar Chowk to press the provincial government for acceptance of their demands. They vowed that the protest would continue till acceptance of their demands.
“15 days on, so far, no government official has come to meet the protesters”, Maulana
