Criticizing the protest, Khan said that, “President of BNP-M Akhtar Mengal lost the election because of his own mistakes. He did massive corruption during his rule.”
Meanwhile, PPP Leader, Zahoor Buledi, said that, “We will not let anyone reject the mandate given by the people to the PPP and the party will definitely going to form the government in Balochistan.”
