Reko Diq legislation
ISLAMABAD: Balochistan National Party-M (BNP-M) chief Akhtar Mengal, a key ally of the Centre’s ruling alliance, is reportedly displeased with the government over recent legislation in connection with the Reko Diq project. Sources claimed that Mr Mengal, who is considering parting ways with the ruling coalition, has summoned a meeting of BNP-M’s core committee to discuss the recent developments and future plan of action. The former CM Balochistan had also refused to support the Foreign Investment (Promotion and Protection) Bill, 2022 in the lower house of the parliament. However, the ruling alliance, while apparently bulldozing the concerns raised by the allies, managed to take the parliament’s nod on the bill. DNA
