Mastung: The Balochistan National Party (BNP) Mengal announced the end of the 20-day sit-in at Mastung Lak Pass.

While announcing the end of the sit-in, BNP chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal said that they believe in peaceful struggle. They have not ended the movement and will start a public relations campaign today.

He stated that the BNP would launch public protests and rallies. In the first phase, rallies will be held in Mastung, Kalat, Khuzdar, and Sorab, while in the second phase, protest rallies will be held in Turbat, Gwadar, and Makran areas.

He added that rallies will be held in Nasirabad, Jafarabad, Dera Murad Jamali, and other areas in the third phase.
