Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti has credited presidential candidate Asif Ali Zardari for paving the way for the 18th Amendment and the National Finance Commission (NFC) award.

Addressing the media alongside PPP leader Sanaullah Zehri today, CM Bugti said the people of Balochistan were provided employment and development funds due to the NFC award.

“The PPP will again, from the President’s House, bring all the federation units together,” he said. “President Zardari will visit Balochistan soon and be apprised of provincial problems.”

CM Bugti promised that the PPP would become “the voice of Balochistan”, adding that all the issues with the federal government would be resolved peacefully through the President’s House.
