Regarding the case of deputy chairman is as important as Baluchistan issue, because missing a score of sensible selection would be counted in present scenario of Baluchistan. on the other hand the policy makers in government are turned a blind eye to the situation of Pashtun & Baloch equality, specially in the case of Pashtuns, being in situation of uncertainty for their future in the state since secession movement in balochistan. Being a President Mr. Asif Ali Zardari should take a step towards a unstressed decision, and nominate a Pashtun senator for the post mention above. Which will be an excellent decision for the future of province and will be taken in account specially a soft corner for the people of pashtun belt, however, the in-forbidden decisions have been taken unnecessarily using the name of PPP. The post of CM and Governorship is already with the baloch after all. thanks!
