He said the Punjab government had given scholarships to the talented students of Balochistan.

Jam Kamal Khan said that Pakistan belonged to all of us.

He said a large number of students from Balochistan were studying in Punjab.

Earlier in a statement, the Balochistan chief minister regretted that no major welfare projects were initiated for Balochistan in the past, however, now the government was putting up efforts for the provision of basic facilities to the people.

“None of the scheme is useful, unless its benefits are channelized to the masses. There are several projects which were launched in the province, but were never concluded,

“Because development schemes here have always been marred by nepotism, everyone wants to award the contract to his own contractor, thus any scheme could not be materialized,” he resented.
