QUETTA: The Amir of Jamaat-i-Islami Balochistan Abdul Mateen Akhunzada has declared the Balochistan government "a failed government", saying that it has no interest in resolving the problems of people.
Speaking at a news conference in Quetta, he said the provincial government is bogged down in corruption and its five dozen ministers are a heavy burden on the national exchequer. The conference was held following the release of the White Paper about Balochistan government’s performance over the last two years.
He said the provincial government’s failure to check incessant target killings in Balochistan is a proof of its inefficiency. He claimed that 406 people - including 106 security personnel - have been killed and over 900 people wounded in target killings across Balochistan from January 2009 to February 2010.
The JI provincial chief termed President Zardari’s visit to Quetta a total failure and said the PPP-led coalition governments in Islamabad and Quetta have done nothing to sort out the Balochistan issue over the past two years.
He further called for provincial autonomy for Balochistan in accordance with the 1973 constitution.
