Will bring up the issue of missing individuals in Balochistan with powerful people

Will bring up the topic of Balochistan’s missing persons with powerful people: Shehbaz Sharif is the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated on Saturday that he would address the matter of Balochistan’s missing persons with “strong places,” pledging to speak out.

He was addressing at the groundbreaking ceremony for the N-25 Chaman-Karachi National Highway’s 330-kilometer Khuzdar-Kuchlak portions.

“I spoke with the leaders here today, and they all stated the same thing. They stated that development initiatives are vital, but that other issues, particularly the issue of missing individuals, must be addressed first “The prime minister stated.

“I’m making a vow today. I will join you in advocating for missing individuals “Shehbaz, the Prime Minister, pledged. “We will bring the matter to the attention of those in positions of influence. And we will speak to them on the basis of the rule of law, fairness, and merit.”

He emphasised the need of raising the matter since it would otherwise generate a sense of “disappointment” and “sadness” in the province.

The prime minister landed in Khuzdar earlier in the day on his first official visit to the region since taking office. He was joined by Ahsan Iqbal, Minister of Planning and Special Initiatives, Maulana Abdul Wasey, Minister of Communication, and other high-ranking officials.

They met with Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo and coalition partner Muhammad Akhtar Mengal, according to Radio Pakistan.

PM Shehbaz stated in his address that he was “apologetic” to the people of the province. “Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest geographical province, yet despite its modest population, it has been left behind.”

“Allah has provided the province with a bountiful supply of natural resources.” However, the advantages received by its citizens from these resources were “equal to salt in wheat,” he lamented.

Balochistan, according to the prime, has enormous potential, but its natural riches are mostly unexplored. “In reality, the initiatives that were started here have been surrounded by lawsuits.”

“Consider Reko Diq. For a year, it was the subject of litigation, and billions [of rupees] were squandered. Not simply money was squandered; many years were squandered as well “He brought this up.

Terrorism wrecked devastation in Balochistan from 2000 to 2014, according to the PM. “The sacrifices made by the Pashtuns, Baloch, and others are inspiring. They had lost loved ones and buried them with their own hands and in front of their own eyes.”

He praised law enforcement for making “many sacrifices and defeating terrorists.”

Terrorism, according to Shehbaz, has recently increased. “I have no doubt that we will overcome it again via our combined efforts. No mountain or sea will be an obstacle to our ambitions if the nation remains together and makes [unified] decisions.”

However, the prime minister stated that there was one issue that was generating increasing challenges for the people of Balochistan. “This is the story of North and South Balochistan. Please dispose of it.”

He bemoaned the fact that development was critical for all sections of the province. “We must move forward and work in all areas of Balochistan. Our goal is to pour resources and initiatives into every region that has been neglected.”

When discussing the Kuchlak National Highway, Shehbaz said that the region included by the project was dubbed “bloody road” by the people. “We must soak this blood and turn this into a route of development and sustenance as soon as possible,” he encouraged.

Today, the PM lay the groundwork for a 300-kilometer segment of the 700-kilometer-long motorway. He assured that the project will be finished in 1.5 years, noting that other projects in Balochistan had been delayed for a long time due to inadequate tender pre-qualification.

“Everyone in the federal government understands that my goal is to save every cent of government money,” Shehbaz added, emphasising the need of “third-party validation” in maintaining quality.

He also announced that the government was extending the Benazir Income Support Programme to Balochistan, which will assist 500,000 households.

“The only requirement is that the money go to families who will utilise it to send their children to school,” he explained. “We don’t want to establish a beggar army. We want to enable the kids to become self-sufficient since they are the country’s future.”

Shehbaz also proposed the establishment of a high-tech institution in the province and pledged to provide laptop computers to pupils so that they might carry them “instead of guns.”
