Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti while addressing the 13th National Workshop in Quetta stated that unfounded propaganda is misleading our youth. To thwart conspiracies against the country, the gap between the state and the youth must be bridged. Every citizen of Balochistan desires peace.
Understanding the Balochistan issue requires familiarity with history. Every province in Pakistan has underdeveloped areas. The cause of the Balochistan insurgency is not underdevelopment but personal interests and past misgovernance.
He expressed these views while addressing the participants of the 13th National Workshop Balochistan here on Thursday. Advisor on Women Development Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi and Parliamentary Secretary S&GAD Mir Liaquat Ali Lehri were also present.
Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti said that people need to be informed of the real facts about Balochistan. People think that there is a war between the state and separatists in Balochistan; this impression is incorrect.
This is our collective fight, which we all must fight together. If the state survives, we survive. Thankfully, our security forces are fully capable of dealing with all kinds of conspiracies and aggression. The Chief Minister said that it is not possible to correct the governance system ruined over 70 years in a few months.
We are striving for improvement. It is more important to be in the right direction than to be quick. We are trying to bring reforms in all sectors, especially in health and education, so that the common man can get relief.
The Chief Minister of Balochistan said that not every young person can be given a government job. However, to provide employment, we have decided to train 30,000 youth in skills and send them abroad within the next two years.
Additionally, interest-free loans will be given to unemployed youth. Graduates who bring business plans will be provided resources to gain employment in their relevant fields of education. Mir Sarfraz Bugti said that the Benazir Bhutto Scholarship Program has been started in Balochistan.
