Quetta – Federal bureaucracy is responsible for the backwardness of Balochistan, alleged Senator Kabir Ahmad Mohammad Shahi of National Party, on Thursday.
Addressing the upper house of Pakistani Parliament, Mr. Kabir said that Federal bureaucracy deliberately sabotages the development projects in Balochistan.
“File for Zard Ghulam Jan electric grid station is pending in Islamabad for over a year. Despite our best efforts federal bureaucracy is not clearing the file,” lamented the senator from Balochistan.
“At the moment, Finance department in Islamabad is deliberately creating hurdles for release of funds of the proposed grid station,” said disgruntled Senator Kabir.
Senator Kabir revealed that there is not a single federal secretary form Balochistan at the moment.
Chairman Senate, Raza Rabbani, asked Raja Zafar-ul-Haq to conduct an inquiry about the issue raised by Senator Kabir Ahmad and submit report in Sensate.
