LAHORE MIRROR — Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal annonced resignation from the National Assembly on Tuesday.

Mengal was elected as an MNA from Khuzdar (NA-256) in the general elections held on February 8.

In a letter addressed to NA Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, Mengal said the “prevailing situation in Balochistan has compelled me to take this step”.

“Our province has consistently been marginalised and ignored by this House. Each day, we are pushed further to the wall, leaving us with no choice but to reconsider our roles.
