On advice of Chief Minister Aslam Raisani, Balochistan Governor Zulfiqar Magsi dissolved the provincial assembly on Monday.
A notification was issued by the Governor’s House that declared dissolution of the Balochistan Assembly.
Earlier, Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani sent a summary to the governor, advising him to dissolve the assembly.
Raisani was earlier quoted as saying that the provincial assembly would be dissolved on March 19.
In 40 sessions of the provincial assembly, only 48 bills were passed, while the representatives demonstrated a complete disregard for the people and blatantly pursued their self-interests above all else.
During the last two years, the province received more than Rs 360 billion as direct transfers and shares from a divisible pool of resources.
Furthermore, the lucrative National Finance Commission Award granted Balochistan additional revenue, raising its share from 5.1 percent to 9.1 percent of the national pie.
Development funds were wasted on insignificant plans that had no impact on the economy.
All MPAs, also ministers, strangely seemed fixated on developing gutters and nullahs.
On the other hand, the Balochistan High Court cancelled the notification of Maulana Abdul Wasay’s appointment as leader of the opposition in the provincial assembly and restored Tariq Magsi as the opposition leader.
A petition was filed in the BHC by Tariq Magsi challenging the notification issued by the provincial assembly speaker.
On Sunday night, the Balochistan Assembly speaker had notified senior provincial minister Maulana Abdul Wasay as leader of the opposition in the House.
