The crisis escalated in Balochistan government on Friday afternoon with the resignations of a provincial minister and the chief minister's adviser.
According to the details, in the latest blow to the PML-N government in Balochistan, the newly-appointed Adviser to the Chief Minister on Excise and Taxation Majid Abro resigned from his position on Friday.
Abro, who was appointed in place of Mir Amanullah Notezai after the latter signed the no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Nawab Sanaulah Zehri, sent his resignation to Governor Balochistan today. Minister for Labour and Manpower Rahat Jamali also tendered her resignation amid speculations regarding more resignations.
A total of five PML-N members of the provincial cabinet have resigned so far, plunging the provincial government into a severe crisis.
Moreover, Chief Minister Balochistan Sanaullah Zehri faces a no-confidence motion in the provincial assembly. Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Thursday requested the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman to take back his support from the no-confidence motion.
Sources said the premier met the JUI-F leader at his Islamabad residence along with Federal SAFRON Minister Abdul Qadir Baloch.
The JUI-F leader presented his conditions, which include the making of the incumbent political setup in Balochistan, the future provincial interim government, and assurances on the issue of FATA's merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. PML-N government in Balochistan led by Zehri faced a sudden crisis earlier this week, when some treasury MPAs filed a no-confidence motion and important ministers and advisers - notably Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti and Fisheries Minister Sarfaraz Domki - switched camps, sparking a series of resignations and sackings.
