Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday said that all parts and provinces of Pakistan have equitable rights over the country's resources. "It is our duty to ensure its fair distribution amongst all the provinces including Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Gilgit Baltistan (GB)," the PM said while talking to Chief Minister Balochistan Nawab Sanaullah Zehri at PM House, Islamabad.
The Chief Minister apprised the Prime Minister on progress made on various development projects and welfare initiatives undertaken by the federal government. He said, "The development and welfare projects are executed with renewed spirits and energies after the improved security situation in the province." Thanking the Prime Minister for prioritising development schemes in Balochistan, the CM said, "Past deprivations and grievances of the people are aptly addressed through the Federal Government's major initiatives in the province."
The Prime Minister said that his government's vision of transforming Pakistan into a truly developed state is not possible without progress and development in all federating units of the country. "I am personally monitoring pace of the ongoing projects and schemes in Balochistan," the PM stated. "My government is pursuing the agenda of progress and development across the country," he added. He said, "Gawadar port alone has the potential to change the lives of the people of Balochistan and the region." "The major development initiatives of our government will empower the people of Balochistan to fully realise their potential in all spheres of life," emphasised the Prime Minister.
