The Balochistan Assembly has strongly rejected claims that it is not a true representative body. Provincial ministers say such statements are only political slogans and do not reflect reality.
To begin with, lawmakers emphasized that they reached the assembly through public votes. They said questioning the legitimacy of elected members is unfair to the voters who took part in the election process.
In addition, members highlighted that each constituency has a long history of competitive elections. They pointed out that different political leaders have contested these seats over the years, showing that the process has remained active and democratic.
Ministers Call Opposition Narrative a Political Slogan
Meanwhile, provincial ministers have criticized the opposition’s claim of a representation crisis. They argue that this narrative is often used by those who lost elections.
At the same time, Minister Noor Muhammad Khan Dummar said the idea of non-representation is misleading. He stated that it is only a political slogan used for pressure, not a reflection of facts.
Furthermore, he stressed that all assembly members are elected through public votes. He added that important decisions in the province are made through the provincial cabinet, which operates under a legal framework.
Finally, lawmakers urged critics to respect the electoral process. They said that rejecting elected institutions undermines the voice of the people and the democratic system in the province.
