ISLAMABAD: Balochistan National Party chief Akhtar Mengal has made it clear that he will not be part of any constitutional amendments. Two of our senators and their sons have been missing for five days. I was called, is it the honor of the vote?
Talking to the media outside Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s residence, he said that there is a state of emergency in the country for a month, constitutional amendment is being brought in a secret manner, all his attention is on the amendment of the constitution, what kind of trouble is there? Have to edit overnight? What are the amendments that the government itself is ashamed to make public?
He said that the amendment of the constitution is public and every citizen has full right to know, the constitutional documents are being kept secret.
Who is the creator of the documents? What is the government? Opposition or other forces? The forces that have always threatened this constitution are the same forces that have always trashed this constitution. Voting for constitutional amendments by force is democracy? You will not find a precedent of such democracy anywhere in the world.
He said that you want to raise the mothers and sisters of the members of parliament and make the constitutional amendment, the hostage amendment should also be included in the 1973 constitution, they will not be part of the amendment brought by the cries of children and women. I was abroad, I was contacted to support us, I clarified that I am unemployed and have resigned. Even in the past, there were no negotiations at gun point, today there will be no negotiations at gun point even with Musharraf’s successor.
He said that even today two of our senators and their sons have been missing for four or five days. The family of the female senator was taken hostage and invited to the prime minister’s dinner. Is this respect for the vote? You brought us to the streets for the same vote? The woman could not even speak in the meeting whose husband and child are in her possession.
Akhtar Mengal made it clear that we will not be a part of any negotiation, even if the path to heaven is shown in the constitutional amendment, we will not be a part of it, until our members return, we will not discuss anything. We will consult with the opposition alliance regarding the matter. Anyway, where is the democracy in this country??
He told the media that female senator Naseema Ehsan was taken away from the lodges by five to six people at night. Ask her whether the government is hers or not. Apart from the government, I have received a message from the rest of the people.
