The undemocratic behaviour of the opposition had created complications when the government was going to unveil its budget at any cost. The chief minister said that he allows the assembly to withdraw the case against the opposition lawmakers.

He clarified that the provincial government has not neglected any constituency belonging to the opposition lawmaker and development works were also carried out in their respective constituencies.

Jam Kamal Khan said that the Balochistan government is ready to assist relatives of Usman Kakar. He added that Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind’s anger is beyond comprehension as the intervention was not made in his department nor the government becomes a party to his tribal matters.

The chief minister said that the government will hold talks with dissidents when they accept the state. Khan added that talks could be held on political differences, however, national security will not be compromised at any cost. He further clarified that he was not in talks with Khan of Kalat.
