Published Updated

Chief of Pakistan Muslim League-Zia, Ijaz-ul-Haque has said that military action is not the solution to Balochistan issue. He was addressing a news conference at Quetta Press Club, here on Sunday.
Ijaz urged the government to inform international community about interference of anti-Pakistan states in Balochistan. He emphasised the need to take practical measures to remove sense of deprivation among the people of Balochistan.
He said that no one could deny 'involvement of external hand in Balochistan situation'.
He was of the view that the US led forces fought "so-called war" on terror in Afghanistan for 10 years, adding now the US government is in search of way to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan.
Regarding the country's situation, PML-Z chief underlined the need to launch steps to resolve price hike, unemployment and lawlessness issues. He demanded transparent and impartial accountability across the board, including politicians, bureaucrats, judges and military officials.
