Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed while endorsing announcement of committee by Prime Minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Balochistan, said it will help resolve the problems whatsoever.
The prime minister has taken a good step to create good atmosphere, and all the opposition parties have appreciated it, the minister told a private television.
Now the Senate chairman will constitute the committee and Senators from opposition will also be included in it, and the people's representatives will resolve whatever slight bitterness has appeared, he said.
Asked what is his view point on the charter of demands put forward by Baloch leaders, he said everyone is rightful to make demands, but they should be in the orbit of constitution and law.
To a question regarding concern of some Baloch leaders about the construction of cantonments, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said these are the cantonments of the Pakistan Army, and they are being built for betterment and keeping in view the importance of Gwadar Port in future, adding: "I do not think anyone would have any objection over it."
Disagreeing the impression that work on Gwadar Port has been delayed vis-à-vis the objections of some Baloch leaders, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said the project is going on as usual.
How can work on the Gwadar port be stopped? It is a matter of future of Pakistan, he added.
Asked when will the formation of the Senate committee be completed, Sheikh Rashid said it is up to the Senate chairman, who will constitute the committee and as soon as it is formed, it will start working.
