“Local fishermen and the masses in Gwadar fear that they will be driven out of their homes and lose businesses following the CPEC projects.”
Haq said people of Balochistan had the first right on natural resources, adding that jobs and relief for the people of Gwadar should be the top priority of the incumbent provincial and central governments.

“Lawlessness prevails in the province despite allocating Rs30 billion for law and order.”
He blamed corruption for Balochistan’s deprivation.
