LAHORE: Pakistan’s former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif has demanded that the murderers of Akbar Khan Bugti, who was killed by the military regime of General Pervez Musharraf in August 2006, should be brought to justice for peace in Balochistan, a private TV channel quoted as saying the other day.
Talking to reporters after the inaugural ceremony of a cricket pavilion at the Bagh-e-Jinnah, the PML-N chief said those who got their loans written off should be held accountable along with beneficiaries of the National Reconciliation Ordinance, as they had plundered the national exchequer. Nawaz said there would be no threat to democracy if the government worked for supremacy of law and the constitution. Restoring law and order in the country should be the government’s first priority, he added.

According to APP, Nawaz also stressed the use of all resources to address the challenges facing the nation, including maintenance of law and order, poverty, unemployment and revival of economy.

“Apart from political issues, there are a number of other problems confronting the country, which need our attention,” Nawaz said.
