      <title>BNP-M leader Akhtar Mengal announces end of three-week sit-in protest in Lakpass</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The leader of the Balochistan National Party Mengal (BNP-M), Sardar Akhtar Mengal, has announced the conclusion of a three-week-long sit-in protest in Lakkpass.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He stated that protests will continue in a new form with public rallies across Balochistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The protest aimed at demanding the release of Mahrang Baloch and other female activists from the Baloch Unity Committee (BYC).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mengal emphasized that the party’s stance remains firm and uncompromising regarding these demands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following a stalled negotiation with the government, a multi-party conference (MPC) was held in Lakkpass, where various political groups rejected recent national security policies and called for the immediate release of all detained women and activists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mengal expressed disappointment over the government’s refusal to allow the long march to enter Quetta, labeling this attitude as contrary to democratic values.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He confirmed that the scope of the protest movement will be expanded, with public rallies planned in every district of Balochistan to exert pressure on the government to accept their demands.&lt;/p&gt;
