Prime Minister Shauakat Aziz said here on Sunday that a three-member committee would be formed to monitor the Balochistan situation. The committee will have one representative of the government and one member nominated by Nawab Akbar Bugti and Mushahid Hussain, the third member of the committee, will be the joint nominee of both sides. Earlier on Sunday, PML President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and secretary general Mushahid Hussain met Nawab Akbar Bugti in Dera Bugti.
Addressing the journalists here, the Prime Minister said the government wanted to resolve the Balochistan crisis through dialogue. He praised the PML president and the secretary general for their efforts they have made to defuse the Balochistan imbroglio. Meanwhile it was learnt that parliamentary Committee on Balochistan is unlikely to meet before April 1 as its chairman Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain is going to India on Monday, sources said.
During the last meeting of the committee held on Friday, Chaudhry Shujaat declined to share with members the details of his parleys with Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) chief, Nawab Akbar Bugti and sought three-day time to apprise them.
But, now as the PML president was leaving for India on Monday, the members of the committee would have to wait for another week for the details of Shujaat-Bugti meeting, a ruling party source said.
The committee's meeting was now likely to be called somewhere in the next week starting from April 3, in which Shujaat Hussain and Senator Mushahid Hussain would inform the members about their talks with Bugti.
Shujaat and Mushahid had held a four-hour marathon meeting with JWP chief to defuse tensions in Balochistan on Thursday at latter's residence in Dera Bugti.
Shujaat declined to share the details of his talks with panel's members on Friday owing to a commitment, he claimed he had with Bugti, of not leaking the details for at least three days.
He, however, reportedly told members of apprising them about his meeting with Bugti within next three days and after another round of talks with the JWP leader.
