QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo has said that his government believes in supremacy of judiciary and rule of law.

Speaking at the Balochistan High Court Bar Association on Wednesday, he said every act of the government would be in accordance with the Constitution and law.

Mr Bizenjo said the government would provide a conducive environment for continuing the development process in the province.
