Balochistan situation
May 29, 2008 NO one expected that with the installation of a government representative of the people of Balochistan, the problems of the province would simply vanish. Their feeling of alienation from the rest of the country, having been left out in the race for development, is deep-seated and has a ring of genuineness. The mega projects that the previous government launched were overlaid with corrupt practices that favoured privileged sections of society, mainly from outside Balochistan, which reinforced the sense of neglect and discrimination of the local population.
