Quetta: In Quetta, senior political leader and former senator Mir Lashkari Raisani has formally challenged the government’s decision to proceed with the demolition of the historic Balochistan Assembly Building by filing a petition in the Balochistan High Court.
Nawabzada Lashkari, through Advocate Sial Khan Kakar, has moved the court seeking cancellation of the proposed demolition tender and has also requested the issuance of a stay order to immediately halt any further action on the project. He has urged the court to take up the matter on a priority basis, citing its constitutional and public importance.
In his position, Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani argued that the Balochistan Assembly building is not only a key governmental structure but also a valuable provincial asset that should be preserved rather than dismantled. He emphasized that the province is already facing multiple pressing issues, and administrative focus should be redirected toward public welfare instead of infrastructure removal.
He pointed out critical challenges in Balochistan, including shortages of clean drinking water, deteriorating conditions in universities, and the ongoing financial crisis affecting higher education institutions. According to him, these problems require urgent attention and effective governance.
The petition is expected to generate significant legal and political debate, particularly regarding public infrastructure protection, heritage preservation, and policy priorities in Balochistan.
