Quetta: Former Chief Minister of Balochistan and former Chief of Sarawan Nawab Muhammad Aslam Raisani has strongly rejected the proposal to separate Mastung district from Kalat Division.

In a tweet on X, Nawab Aslam Raisani said that Mastung has historically remained a central and significant part of the former State of Kalat, and its political, cultural, and administrative importance cannot be ignored. He termed the proposed move as being against history and the long-standing public affiliation of the people with Kalat.

The former chief minister emphasized that any decision taken without public consultation is unacceptable and hurts public sentiment. He urged the concerned authorities to immediately review the proposal and ensure that the opinion of the local population is given priority before taking any final decision.
