US diplomat meets Khan of Kalat family
QUETTA - Karachi-based US Consul General
Stephen G Fakan has met some family members of Khan of Kalat
Mir Suleman Daud in Kalat Town.
This was the first meeting of any US diplomat with the family
members of Khan of Kalat who was in self-exile in London
for the last four years.
According to sources, the prevailing situation of Balochistan
also came under discussion during the meeting. It may be
mentioned that Khan of Kalat had not only convened an important
jirga of Baloch tribal elders after the assassination of
Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti but he had also left the country.
Some sources claimed that attempts were made on behalf of
some important personalities to bring Khan of Kalat back
to Pakistan but so far these efforts have not succeeded.
Khan of Kalat had also rejected any negotiations with the
govt without presence or assurance of international guarantors.
Political observers were attaching great importance to the
meeting of a senior US diplomat with the family members of
Khan of Kalat. However, it could not be known whether this
was a courtesy call or any attempt on behalf of some foreign
diplomats for improvement of situation in Balochistan because
US and its allies were considering peace in Pakistan indispensable
for their success in war against Taliban in Afghanistan.
