Parliamentary Affairs Minister Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry dismissed accusations about reduced federal employment opportunities for Balochistan residents. The province received an enhanced allocation of six percent in 2007, up from the previous 3.5 percent share. This percentage exceeds Balochistan's actual population proportion within Pakistan. Currently, 45,809 federal workers represent the province across various government departments. Recruitment continues for 3,353 additional positions reserved under provincial quotas.
Balochistan receives Rs. 210 billion from the total Rs. 1,000 billion Public Sector Development Programme budget. Recent investments feature a Rs. 60 billion solar tube well initiative and six new Daanish educational institutions. The minister attributed regional terrorism to external interference, particularly Indian-backed operations. Federal authorities work with military forces to eliminate security threats. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directs comprehensive resource mobilization for provincial development and integration efforts.
