QUETTA: People of all nationalities living in Balochistan have equal rights which require harmony not ethnicity, provincial president of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind says.

PTI chairman Imran Khan gave more importance to the people of the province in his 100-day plan, which would be implemented if the party was elected to power, Mr Rind added.

PTI chief’s vision was to restore peace and start work on mega projects, of which the province was deprived of, he said on Saturday while addressing a corner meeting in Quetta.

Citing the performance of PTI in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Mr Rind said that the KP now was an example of the party’s extra-ordinary performance which once was notorious for terrorist-related activities. Now peace prevails there.

Youths were joining the PTI in great numbers across the country and the youth of Balochistan should also join the party for the development and prosperity of their province, Sardar Rind said.

He slammed the PPP and the PML-N for deliberately depriving the province of development and said that the PTI had unveiled the PPP and PML N’s vicious ambition towards Balochistan as they don’t want to give people of Balochistan their due rights. “The whole corrupt mafia will be held accountable during the PTI rule, and those who deprived the masses will be brought to justice,” Rind pledged and added that Balochistan’s development was the PTI’s priority.
