Lahore: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Maula Bakhsh Chandio has blamed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Nawaz Sharif for the current political crisis in Balochistan saying Nawaz forcefully tried to enter the politics of the province.

A crisis situation has emerged ever since Nawaz started meddling in the political affairs of the province, said Chandio while addressing a press conference in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

“New political alliances would be formed in coming days”, he added.

These remarks came a day after lawmakers submitted a no-confidence motion against the chief minister of Balochistan in the provincial assembly.
