Its a good move that 25% of the budget is allocated to education, we really need that. And btw its Dr Abdul Malik Baloch and not Abdul Qadir. Please ET, get couple of interns and proof read your articles
So Balochistan gets the MOST money per capita but does the LEAST work for its citizens? That tells me that their leaders are corrupt!
The largest province with lowest budget and people ask why Baluchistan are fighting for independence.
We need freedom, respect and dignity.
