Terrorism severely affected Balochistan and erstwhile FATA
Terrorism severely affected Balochistan and FATA and resulted in the deprivation of students from quality education, the PPP chairman said. “The decision is equal to replacing pen with a gun in the hands of students”, he lamented.
Students from the erstwhile FATA and Balochistan have been protesting in Islamabad for the restoration of scholarship seats in medical colleges and other educational institutions.
Ruling PTI violated its promise
Ruling Pakistan Tehrik e Insaf (PTI) has violated its promise of promoting education and rather depriving students of education, Bilawal Bhutto stated. He urged the government to restore the medical and other scholarship seats in prestigious educational institutions of the country.
“Students of Balochistan and tribal areas too have the right to get quality education”, he added.
