Finally, after almost 6 decades, Pakistan has finally
started to recognize Balochistan – the forgotten province that was never
really accepted by the other provinces and its people. The stereotype is
finally starting to break – as awareness spreads, hopefully, the
situation of Balochistan will only get better with time.
Ever wondered why Balochistan and it’s people remain bewildered and
alien to the rest of the country? It’s because of YOU, you, who never
tried – along with many other reasons, internal and external as
following:
|
 |
1. The majority of people in Balochistan cannot afford to eat two times
a day – 63% people in the province live below poverty line
|
 |
|
2. Balochistan has been providing Punjab
and Sindh with Sui Gas for decades while the villages around Sui do not
get gas
|
 |
3. 85% people in Balochistan do not get safe water to drink and 80% do
not get electricity
|
 |
|
4. The basic facilities of Balochistan, education, health, communication
services and infrastructure are almost nonexistent |
 |
5. Even after the Aghaz-e-Huqooq-e-Balochistan reforms package, not much
has been done for the people of the neglected land
|
 |
6. The negligence of human rights has forced the nationalists/sarmachars
of Balochistan to take up arms
|
 |
7. There are only 2 medical colleges in all of Balochistan, of which
only 1 is being run by the state, the other is an army medical college
|
 |
8. Lack of opportunity to work in the private sector – only leaves
government jobs as a resort to salvage any sort of income
|
|
 |
|
9. Growing nepotism and corruption in the government
departments wreaks havoc on merit, as official posts are sold or
reserved (for family)
|
|
 |
|
10. We, ourselves, have ruined the image of
Balochistan – nobody ever took interest to find about how the people of
Balochistan are, generally
