QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri will present the budget for the next financial year in the provincial assembly on Sunday, it was announced on Friday night.

Earlier, the budget was scheduled to be announced on Saturday afternoon. Official sources said that the date had been changed because of some changes in the budget proposals.

Meanwhile, the chief minister said the budget would be balanced. “I will present the best budget ever presented in Balochistan,” he said while talking to reporters after attending a press conference at which the JUI-F’s former spokesman Muhammad Jan Achakzai announced joining the PML-N.

Sardar Zehri said there would be no injustice or discrimination with any district in the coming budget.
