The Balochistan government on 19th june announced a Rs419.92 billion budget with a Rs41.71bn deficit amid chaos in the provincial assembly.
The session was delayed for over two hours as opposition members protested over not receiving copies of the provincial budget document in a timely manner.
Opposition Leader in the Balochistan Assembly Advocate Malik Sikandar complained there was “no sign of progress in the province”, while former chief minister Nawab Aslam Raisani described the budget to reporters outside the assembly as an “anti-masses budget”.
BNP-M lawmaker Sanaullah Baloch expressed concern that the “rulers have failed to address key concerns of the masses in the budget”.
