Nawaz doesn?t want govt to complete tenure: Bilawal

Bilawal posted a message on social media, in which he also commented on the current turmoil brewing in the province of Balochistan.

Bilawal raised the question that in the current situation even one federal minister didn?t go to Balochistan.

He said: "Does the federal government even care about what?s happening in Balochistan? Has a single federal minister even gone there? It?s seems Nawaz doesn?t want govt to complete its term."
