BAP MNAs make decisions in the interests of the country and province
To a question about the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister, he said that members of the national assembly from the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) would make a good decision about the country and province. “We will make a good decision”, he said.
Yet to another question about the expected no-confidence motion against him, he said, “no issue, I am not concerned about this”. He said his government was making efforts to provide equal funds to all constituencies of the province. CM Balochistan stated that in the past non-elected members were given funds and the elected representatives of the masses were ignored by the former setup.
Educational institutions to be reopened
Regarding the threat alert, the CM stated that he has directed the Chief Secretary and other concerned quarters to make sure the re-opening of the educational institutions. “We will not shut down our educational institutions”, he said. His comments have come after the abrupt closure of all private and public educational institutions in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province.
CM Balochistan reiterated that his government was serious in addressing the grievances of the government employees and masses of the province. He said despite all odds, his government has made good strides in different sectors.
