ISLAMABAD: The Senate on Monday approved a bill seeking an increase in the seats of the provincial assembly of Balochistan with a majority vote.
The bill obtained the support of 71 senators in the House of 104 members.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan supported the bill and said that it is now time to address the sense of deprivation of the people of Balochistan and erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
“Prime Minister Imran Khan will perform this duty that was not done in the past,” he said and announced complete support from the government on the bill.
On June 28, Prime Minister Imran had said that ridding Balochistan of its feeling of being marginalized was a top priority of the government.
