Former senator Nawabzada Haji Lashkari Raisani has reiterated his strong opposition to the Mines and Minerals Act in Balochistan, emphasizing that it is structured to exploit the resources of future generations. During a recent press conference, he warned that if political parties do not intervene and enact necessary reforms, they risk being forgotten by both history and the citizens of Balochistan. Raisani stated, 'If necessary reforms are not enacted, we will escalate the issue to the people’s court,' highlighting the urgency of the situation. He criticized the Act for transferring extensive authority over land and mineral resources to a federal committee, which he argues violates the 18th Constitutional Amendment. Despite a constitutional petition challenging the Act currently under consideration, Raisani noted that tenders and land allocations continue to emerge, raising concerns about transparency and governance. He accused certain stakeholders of finalizing agreements over the Reko Diq project and called for public support to unite against what he describes as unlawful activities.
