The Son of the Khan of Kalat Message on Independence Day

ZIARAT:  Prince Mohammad Khan Ahmadzai, a son of the Khan of Kalat Mir Suleman Dawood, has called for collective efforts for the stabilization of Pakistan by sinking personal differences.

He was the chief guest of an event at Quaid-e-Azam Residency in Ziarat on Tuesday which was organized to celebrate Pakistan’s independence day. The event was sponsored by the Pakistani military as Baloch nationalists had called for a black day on this occasion.

While Suleman Dawood is a staunch supporter and leader of the movement for an independent Balochistan, his son has, ironically, emerged as a major embarrassment for the father due to his very close ties with the Pakistani military establishment.

The son of the Kan of Kalat said, “We achieved Pakistan after a lot of sacrifices and now it is our duty to sink our personal differences and play a positive role for Pakistan’s security and stability.
