The Government has accepted the demands of the Balochistan Liberation United Front (BLUF) in exchange for the recovery of John Solecki, head of the United Nations refugee agency in Quetta, Daily Times reported. However, no confirmation was made at the official level about the acceptance of the demands, a private TV channel quoted its sources as saying on March 5. According to the channel, seven of the 141 missing women had been identified and a high-powered committee would submit a report in a few days. Separately, according to another news channel, the Balochistan Government said in a statement that the list of 1,109 alleged missing persons provided by the BLUF was being ‘intensively’ scrutinised. According to the statement, 45 persons had already been traced, a few of whom were at their houses while a few were in judicial custody for their alleged involvement in criminal cases. The Balochistan Chief Minister Aslam Raisani has reportedly announced a top-level committee to investigate the captors’ demands. "We have set up a high-level committee, including high-ranking officials and politicians, to locate the whereabouts of the alleged missing persons listed by the Balochistan Liberation United Front," the provincial Government said in a statement, AFP reported. The Balochistan Home Secretary will work as secretary of the committee. The committee, headed by the Balochistan chief minister, invited the female members of the provincial assembly to assist in identifying and locating the allegedly missing women in the province, the statement said.

The Inspector General of Frontier Corps (FC), Major General Saleem Nawaz has described as baseless reports that Mullah Omar and other Taliban leaders and militants were hiding in Balochistan and said the Taliban did not have political and tribal support in the province, Dawn reported. “The border and other areas of Balochistan are not suitable for Taliban activities,” he told reporters at the FC headquarters in Quetta on March 18.

President Asif Ali Zardari announced on March 27 a PKR 46.6 billion development package for Balochistan, according to The News. Out of this sum, four water storage reservoirs would be constructed at a cost of PKR 36 billion, small delay-action dams at a cost of PKR 2.5 billion, PKR 3 billion will be spent on projects in Quetta and PKR 5 billion on transmission lines. The President said in provincial capital Quetta he had recommended amendments to the Constitution for an amicable resolution of the Balochistan issue. "Evolving a package of amendments to the Constitution to resolve the Balochistan issue is the way forward," he stated. Zardari said he could announce a general amnesty in Balochistan but it could not bear the desired results because such moves made in the past several time had not been successful. "I have asked the governor and the chief minister to form a provincial parliamentary committee, which may work with the federal parliamentary committee for resolution of the problems of the province," he said.

Several Baloch nationalist groups have rejected the ‘reconciliation policy’ of President Zardari for resolving the Balochistan issue, Dawn reported. Speaking at a rally on March 27, leaders of the Balochistan National Party-M, National Party and Baloch Students’ Organisation-M said the economic package announced in Quetta by President Zardari was a mockery of sacrifices made by people like Nawab Akbar Bugti and Nawabzada Balach Marri. They said the leaders had not sacrificed their lives for ‘some billion rupees’. The Baloch people were waging a political struggle to achieve national rights and to protect their coast and resources, the speakers said. They also said the Baloch had already rejected mega projects launched by former president Pervez Musharraf. Leaders of the Anjuman Ittehad Marri, Baloch Women Panel, BSO-A, the Baloch Bar Association and Raisani Qaumi Ittehad alleged at another rally, at Mannan Chowk, that Balochistan had been "annexed" by Pakistan without the consent of its leadership in 1948. They also said the parliament of the Khan of Kalat had not approved the accession of the province to Pakistan.
