Sardar Akhtar Mengal resigns from National Assembly

Chief of Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) Sardar Akhtar Mengal has announced that he is resigning from the National Assembly (NA).

Talking to media outside parliament alongside Chairman Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Mengal said, “I am announcing my resignation in this press conference, and I haven’t told anyone yet.”

The head of BNP-M remarked that he will return to his constituency and tell the Baloch people, “If I was unable to do anything for your people, I didn’t sit along with those who were doing nothing for Balochistan.”

“I’m disappointed by the system. The state is not ready to listen to Balochistan’s grievances, and I have lost confidence in the state, the President, and the Prime Minister.”

“Even if you want to encounter or kill me outside Parliament, go ahead, but at least listen. We have no one, and no one listens to us,” he concluded.
