Regional imbalance

All previous governments that came to power did little for the people of Balochistan

GUJRAT: All previous governments that came to power did little for the people of Balochistan. In Asif Ali Zardari’s governance, major concerns were Sindh and corruption, in the era of Nawaz Sharif the concerns shifted from Sindh to Punjab but corruption remained the major issue. However now, I hope that up to 2023, the concern would be Pakistan.

There is unfortunately a distinct lack of vision in our political parties. Not only is this a case in our regional politics but also in our federal bureaucracy. This has only led to making the situation of Balochistan worse. Balochistan has suffered and sacrificed more than any other province, yet problems like a poor educational structure, shortage of potable water, health issues, poverty, missing persons and miserable life standards persist in Balochistan.

Now the Baloch people are looking to Imran Khan to deliver the goods. We hope he delivers on his promises.
