Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti has said a committee comprising representatives of PPP, PML-N and other parties was holding consultation for the formation of provincial cabinet, which will be finalised within the next two weeks.

He said the PPP was grateful to allies, including the National Party and independent candidates, in Balochistan for supporting PPP Chairman Asif Ali Zardari in the presidential election. He said PPP, particularly Zardari, had always kept Balochistan close to their hearts.

“The way they provided jobs to youth in the province through the 18th Amendment, allocated funds for its uplift and initiated the movement to ensure the provision of rights to the people of Baloc­histan integrated the province’s youth into the mainstream,” he added.

“We hope the PPP will once again unite all the federating units and make Pakistan even stronger.”
