Balochistan CM trying to shirk duties: Wasay* BA opp leader says provincial govt’s performance disappointing
Staff Report
QUETTA: Opposition leader in Balochistan Assembly Maulana Abdul Wasay has said that Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik Baloch is trying to shirk his responsibilities after accepting the failure of his government.
Addressing a press conference at Opposition Chamber in the assembly on Monday, he said that the opposition would continue to cooperate with the government. However, Wasay noted that the chief minister had during his speech in Karachi Press Club confessed failure of his government. “Instead of running from his responsibilities, the promises and commitments made with people should be fulfilled,” he demanded.
The opposition leader said that the prolonged delay in formation of cabinet had created hurdles in the resolution of problems, but after the constitution of the cabinet, people had pinned much hopes on the government, but all in vain. “Five-month performance of Balochistan government remains a disappointing one,” he claimed. Citing “achievements” of former provincial government, Maulana Wasay said that the JUI-F representatives carried out record development work, including laying of roads, providing electricity, constructing dams, paying special focus on education and health sectors.
“The law and order was better in the then government’s tenure as compared to present one, as not only the disappearance of people has increased manifold but the kidnapping of doctors and tribal leaders has intensified,” he added.
Responding to a question, the JUI-F leader said that they would attend the APC on Balochistan and also support the government at other forums, but the government should not run away from its responsibilities and hoodwink the people.
