Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo has said that his province was being neglected by the federal government in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.`More than Rs5,000 billion is being spent on the CPEC, but Balochistan is not receiving even one per cent of it,` he said while speaking at the Meet the Press program at the National Press Club in Islamabad.
He said a major portion of the CPEC fell in Balochistan, but the people of the province were ignored in development activities being made under the project.`We have to see what benefit the people of Balochistan will get from the CPEC,` he added.`I am collecting the record of the CPEC to ascertain what benefit will be given to our people in the grand project which is being executed in the name of Balochistan,` he maintained.
Bizenjo said he was not against development activities under the CPEC and those being carried out in Punjab under the project, but he only demanded due rights of the people of Balochistan.
