Provinces be given rights to avoid separation: Jamali

LAHORE - Editor-in-Chief daily The Nation and Chairman Nazria Pakistan Trust Majid Nizami has said that we should maintain unity and integrity in Pakistan at all cost. “India considers Pakistan a stone in its way to go forward but we should make this stone a mountain and do not render it a heap of sand.”
He stated this while addressing the special sitting on ‘Present Situation and Responsibilities of Political Leadership’ at the Aiwan-e-Karkunan Tehrik-e-Pakistan on Friday. The NPT and TPWT organised the sitting. Former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali was the key speaker.
Majid Nizami pointed out that Jamali belonged to the family of Mir Jaffer Khan Jamali who worked hard around day and night for Pakistan and with whom he (Majid) had close association. “Now, Mir Zafarullah Jamali is one of the politicians in Balochistan who can play an eminent role for the solidarity and unity of Pakistan,” he added.
The NPT chairman further said that after working for the PPP and PML-Q, Jamali had now formed his own party and “it is hoped that he will work for the welfare of Pakistan according to the vision of Allama Iqbal and the Quaid.” 
In his speech, Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali said that he came to Lahore suddenly and offered condolence to Majid Nizami on the death of his wife, Mrs Rehana Majid Nizami and offered fateha, though he had offered condolence over telephone earlier. He said Pakistan was undergoing worst situation after 1947. “We have to safeguard its integrity.” He said that Balochistan was lagging behind in development as compared to other provinces. He said, “Now the politics circle round the ideology of necessity.”
