QUETTA: Lawmakers announced the launch of a new Balochistan-based political party at a press conference in Quetta on Thursday.
Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, independent senators and dissident members of PML-N are the members of the newly formed political party.
Senator Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar has been appointed as the central spokesman of the party. The party leaders have vowed to work for the progress and prosperity of the province.
The party will be registered with the Election of Commission of Pakistan once its office-bearers have been chosen.
Former Senator Saeed Ahmad Hashmi, who had been associated with the PML-Q for most of his political career, said that although he has now decided to part ways with the ruling party, “we are not separating ourselves from the mindset of Muslim League.”
He said the new party is being launched using Muslim League’s mindset “but with a different name”.
The process to get the party registered with the Election of Commission of Pakistan will be started once its office-bearers have been chosen, Hashmi said.
The announcement of the launch of the party was postponed for one day due to the absence of Chief Minister Bizenjo who could not return to Quetta on Wednesday due to his official engagements in Islamabad.
