The political rift in Quetta has deepened as JUI-F has decided to distance itself from the provincial government, signaling a significant deterioration in relations. Maulana Abdul Wasey stated that the party's withdrawal from official meetings, including visits to the Chief Minister's House, is due to a lack of consultation on sensitive matters, particularly regarding the regulation of religious seminaries. The party has set a deadline for Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti to issue a formal apology, warning that failure to do so may trigger public demonstrations across Balochistan.
