“We [PML-N] lost two seats in senate elections in Balochistan due to NP and PKMAP,” lamented provincial chief of PML-N.

“We have been sidelined in this government by NP and PKMAP since the day one. We will soon decide about quitting this government,” said an angry Mr. Zehri.
Mr. Usman Kakar, senator-elect and provincial president of PKMAP rejected the allegations of Mr. Zehri. “If PML-N can’t trust its own members of assembly then what’s our fault in that,” said Mr. Kakar.
