PTI, BNP-M delegations meet to discuss possible alliance

Islamabad (Staff Report): A delegation of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) met Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) chief Sardar Akhtar Jan Mengal at Balochistan House in the federal capital on Thursday.

PTI’s delegation, led by the party’s Balochistan chief Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind and Naeemul Haque, exchanged views on the current political situation in the country with Mengal.

The two parties have agreed on continuing the dialogue and Rind also conveyed a message from PTI’s chairman Imran Khan.

Mengal flew to Islamabad on Wednesday to meet the PTI leadership, according to reports.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, Mengal said, "I am thankful to the PTI leadership for extending us an invite to be part of the federal government."

He maintained that his party’s mandate was stolen. In a press conference on July 31, Mengal likened the July 25 polls to the general elections of 1970 and demanded a commission to investigate the polls.
