Though the Balochistan government has withdrawn their names from the First Investigation Report registered against the opposition parliamentarians, but the opposition members still stay put in the police station, saying they will not leave the precincts without a formal notification to be issued by the provincial government.
It was the 11th day on Thursday that Balochistan Assembly opposition members were not leaving the Bijli Ghar police station in Quetta. They have assembled there to court their arrests after the Balochistan government lodged an FIR against them for creating ruckus in the provincial assembly on the eve of budget presentation in the provincial assembly.

QUETTA: Provincial Finance Minister Mir Zahoor Ahmed Buledi has said that government departments utilised 97 per cent of Rs75 billion released under the Public Sector Development Programme for 2020-21 on various projects in Balochistan.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, the minister refuted the opposition parties’ claim that development funds lapsed as the departments failed to utilise them. He, however, said that Rs1.8bn could not be utilised due to some reasons, including the opposition’s petitions pending in the apex court.
No one was listening

I’m grateful to my friend Fakir Ayaz for drawing my attention to the famous saying of Andre Gide (1869) that, “Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.”
I for one have written and lectured about our constitution, how flawed it is and how it needs change. So I will do it once more because it is the need of the times.
The Almighty has enjoined us to “Choose our leaders from amongst ourselves” (meaning from within the Muslim ummah) and to, “Choose from amongst the best.” That’s aptly said but has hardly ever been followed because of Western interests. Instead of obeying Allah, we opted for the British colonial political system. That system may be good for Britain (though I doubt it, with them choosing leaders like Tony Blair and Boris Johnson with a few idiots in between.)
