Raisani declared the review of the PSDP of Balochistan from 2002 to 2012-13 by the Senate’s Standing Committee for Finance as an intervention in provincial affairs. He further said that the review was not tolerable at any cost and no officer would attend the convention without his permission.
The chief minister said that the PSDP aims to provide welfare and development for the masses, adding that the approval of PSDP was given by an elected assembly which was in its legal and constitutional right. “Who has given the right to Senate’s Standing Committee to review the PSDP of Balochistan,” before asking if the PSDP of any other province has been reviewed by the Senate body?
The government of Balochistan has taken notice of this unconstitutional move and would protest it strongly, Raisani stated.
He also added that an increase in the provincial budget had been made possible by the current government’s efforts through the National Finance Commission and he ensured that all these funds were being utilised for the welfare of the masses in Balochistan.
