Negotiations between a government delegation and Akhtar Mengal ended unsuccessfully, with no breakthrough reached. Mengal maintained that the protest would continue until all missing persons are returned. The government delegation has since returned to Quetta without an agreement.
On Tuesday, negotiations between a government delegation and Akhtar Mengal, leader of the Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M), concluded without reaching an agreement. The delegation, which included Zahoor Ahmed Buledi, Bakht Muhammad Kakar, and Sardar Noor Ahmed Bangulzai, engaged in discussions in Lakpass, seeking to persuade Mengal to end the ongoing sit-in protest.
Despite efforts made by the governmental representatives, the negotiations failed to yield any results as Mengal firmly stated that the protest would persist until all missing persons were released. Following the discussions, the government delegation returned to Quetta from Lakpass without a resolution to the ongoing protest scenario.
In conclusion, the inability to reach an agreement during the talks highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the issue of missing persons in Balochistan. Akhtar Mengal’s firm stance on continuing the protest underscores the urgency and gravity of the situation, revealing the challenges faced by the government in addressing these critical humanitarian concerns.
