The government admitted in the Senate on Wednesday that 4,095 posts, meant for Balochistan, under its 6 percent quota are yet to be filled. Responding to a calling attention notice by Senator Muhammad Akarm from Balochistan, State Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan assured the House that the government would fill this gap of 4,095 posts as early as possible from the province.
He explained that under the Aghaz-e-Haqooq Balochistan Package, 13,118 posts were identified and 9,023 of these have been filled so far. The minister conceded that Balochistan has been neglected for the last 70 years but over the years, previous governments tried to mitigate its deprivations and creation of posts and enhancement of its job quota from 3 percent to 6 percent was part of that.
