Islamabad, Dec 22: Pakistan's Interior Adviser Rehman Malik has promised that the government will arrest former president Pervez Musharraf for killing Baloch chieftain Nawab Akbar Bugti.

Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) chief Talal Bugti after meeting President Asif Ali Zardari said on Sunday that the government would frame a case against Musharraf for killing both Akbar Bugti and Benazir Bhutto.

The former president is also responsible for the killings during the Lal Masjid operation and the May 12 riots in Karachi, he added.

Talal, who is Akbar Bugti's son, said his party had lodged an FIR with the police against Musharraf for killing his father, but added that a case had not been registered so far.

London, July 24 : Brahamdagh Bugti, the grandson of slain Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, has reportedly said that instead of Pakistan’s, the sovereignty of Balochistan was dear to the tribesmen, and that they would welcome any help from across the border for Balochistan’s defence.

Quetta, Apr 3: Slain Baloch leader son Nawabzada Talal Akbar Bugti, the chief of his own faction of the Jamhoori Watan Party, has said that the Baloch people will lay down their arms only after they achieve their rights and Balochistan gains complete autonomy.

The Baloch people had been forced to take up arms following continuous denial of rights, he said.

Regretting that Prime Minister Gillani had made his offer for negotiations conditional to the laying down of arms, he said that the rulers had time and again ‘apologised’, but no one ever agreed to give the Baloch people their rights.
