Independent lawmaker Aslam Bhotani has expressed regret that while financial aid across the country was being distributed without any distinction, the Balochistan government was distributing ration bags among people based on their political affiliations.

He also criticised the provincial government for its treatment of doctors.

He also expressed reservations over the appointment of Javed Jabbar as Balochistan's representative in the NFC Award negotiations. Bhotani said that while he did not doubt Jabbar's credentials, he was not from Balochistan and would not be able to represent the province's interests.
