A couple of days earlier, members of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) held a hard-hitting press conference and sought CM’s resignation within 24-hours.
The ministers and other members in Balochistan resigned due to the unsatisfactory performance of Jam Kamal Khan.
The BAP leaders claimed that the province is facing unrest, poor governance, and a lack of development work.
Yesterday, Zahoor Ahmed Buledi was of the view that the members have urged the CM to resign on moral grounds and claimed that they have the support of 13 to 14 members in this regard.
Government of Balochistan Spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani, in an interview with News360, said that the total number of members in the Balochistan government is 41, of which 27 are with Jam Kamal Khan.
He also said that the chief minister is not going to resign and claimed that he will pacify the irked members.
However, the disgruntled members have rejected the notion.
