CPEC will benefit Balochistan the most: PM

He further said that the ongoing projects of Balochistan were being funded on fast-track basis, and Gwadar would be linked with the main cities if Balochistan utilised its full potential. The government is giving priority to the development of Balochistan.

“We should respect mandate of all political parties”, PM said.

Prime Minister Sharif said the apex court had declared military courts legal which would discourage terrorists and strengthen the fight against them.

The prime minister also said his government would not support motions seeking to de-seat Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers.

The Prime Minister said that completion of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will not only create economic turn-around for Pakistan but for the whole region. Security is the pre requisite of the execution of any great project and therefore Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch briefed the Prime Minister about the development projects and the security situation of the province. The agreement provides that Dr. Abdul Malik would step down in early December 2015 to pave the way for the induction of Mir Sanaullah Zehri, who will assume the Chief Minister’s office.

Nearly all major Baloch insurgent groups, except Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) chief Nawabzada Harbyar Marri, have opened negotiations with the stakeholders in Balochistan, The Express Tribune has learnt.
