Bugti says he trusts Mazari
Nawab Akbar Bugti has said he trusts Sher Ali Mazari, but that he (Bugti) had not named him (Mazari) to the three-member committee. Praising Mazari, Akbar Bugti said he had been trying to bring the government and the Bugti tribe closer for many years. "I have complete faith in him (Mazari) and I have blood relations with him as well," Akbar Bugti said, adding that the Jamhoori Watan Party viewed Mazari's reconciliation efforts with appreciation and acknowledged the positive role he had played in resolving government-Bugti issues. Akbar Bugti also reiterated that the press had misquoted him and that the statement that he had no trust in Mazari was wrongly attributed to him. "I had only said that Mazari was not named to the three-member monitoring committee," he added.
