Shahzain Bugti suggests using Nato supply money for Balochistan development

Quetta: (Friday, May 18, 2012) President of the Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) Balochistan chapter, Shahzain Bugti said today that the revenues generated from using Balochistan for NATO supplies should be spent for the developments
of the poverty striken province.

Speaking to the journalists after appearing before a Session court in Quetta, Bugti said that currently, resumption of Nato supplies had no benefit for the people of Balochistan, and that the government blocks and resumes the supply
for its own good.

Bugti, along with his companions, appeared before the court of Additional Session Judge Zulfiqar Naqvi as he was charged with illegal arms recovery case.

Bugti, along with his 26 security guards were arrested at the Buleli check post in Quetta for allegedly smuggling weapons. The hearing was adjourned till May 21, 2012.

Earlier, in a high level meeting, it was decided that if the government was to resume the NATO supplies, it must do it through the Gwadar Port.

In this regards, a formal demand is to be made to the federal government. Moreover, it was also discussed that the port could be used for Afghan transit trade.
