PESHAWAR Nov 2: Former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali has said that major development projects in Balochistan will enable the people of the province to enter into mainstream national development.

In any democratic setup, he said the people are the real source of power and they will form the new government by exercising their rights to vote in the upcoming general elections.
