QUETTA : Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal Secretary General Maulana Ghafoor Haidri on Wednesday said that the nationalist government in Balochistan was busy looting public funds instead of working in the interest of the public during the last five years.
Addressing a public gathering after inaugurating Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F’s (JUI-F) Anwar Shah Kashmiri Election Unit in Quetta, Haidri said, “MMA and JUI-F have pledged better infrastructure including health and education for the people of Balochistan… if we reach Parliament through public mandate, people would be owner of their resources here.”
He criticised nationalist political parties, which ruled in the province for the last five years. “Despite spending billions of rupees on public infrastructure, people of Balochistan are still deprived of clean drinking water, health and education,” he added.
He said that the future generation of the province is compelled to live under humanitarian crisis since previous governments have left nothing for them and “filled their bank accounts with mega corruption.”
Haidri pledged that MMA and JUI-F will turn Quetta into a mega city with lavish development and basic facilities after getting in power through public votes. “There was a time when people from other provinces were visiting to enjoy the weather and beauty of Quetta but today our city is among the worst cities for living in the world.”
With regards to natural resources of Balochistan, Haidri said that they have decided to decide the due share of people of Balochistan on “all natural resources existing in our soil.”
