QUETTA: PPP’s additional secretary general Sabir Baloch has expressed concern over the performance of provincial ministers and said that they are enjoying their powers just to facilitate and oblige their near and dear ones in postings, transfers and appointments but they are doing nothing for resolving unemployment and other issues being faced by the people.

Speaking at press conference along with Sardar Sarbland Khan Jogezai and others, he said party workers’ issues in Balochistan are not being addressed and they are being ignored by provincial ministers.

“We will take up this issue of the coalition government ministers with Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugt,” Mr Baloch said.

He further said that the party’s divisional, district, and wing leaders had shared their concerns and recommendations, which would be conveyed to the PPP chairman and the chief minister.
