QUETTA:

Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo has called on all nationalist, religious, and political parties in the province to actively participate in the digital census for the benefit of the country and the province.

Speaking to journalists, he emphasized that the census is crucial for the province’s future and the public’s welfare. He also urged anyone who encounters government errors or problems to provide guidance, assuring that the government will cooperate in every possible way.

As a political worker, Bizenjo expressed his admiration for former President Asif Ali Zardari and Sardar Akhtar Jan Mengal, describing them as mature politicians and patriots.

He encouraged Mengal to engage in both provincial and central politics. He also praised Zardari as an asset to the country.

Bizenjo directed the parliamentary officials and workers of his party, Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), to prioritize their constituencies and address the problems faced by locals, while also keeping in mind the country and province’s interests.

He emphasized that BAP’s manifesto aims to promote national unity, counter prejudice, linguistic and religious hatred, and serve the people and the province without discrimination.

BAP leads the coalition government in the province and is committed to a program of development and prosperity under its manifesto. Bizenjo called upon his party members to use their opportunity to serve the people and the province.

It may be mentioned that the first-ever digital census, which began recently, aims to provide comprehensive demographic data on Pakistan’s population, including age, gender, education, employment, and ethnicity.
