"The number of missing persons has increased," Sardar Mengal said. He said despite repeated claims on the part of rulers, Baloch political workers were still being picked up and their dead bodies were being found.

The BNP chief described the recently held elections as rigged and a conspiracy to keep away true representatives from parliament.

"Victory of our candidates was turned into defeat," Sardar Mengal claimed, adding that the election commission and returning officers were using delaying tactics in terms of announcement of results.
