QUETTA, (Parliament Times) : Sain Safiullah Khan Kakar, provincial leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Balochistan, has said that recruitment policy framed by the government of Balochistan during the year 1991 for filling up the vacant positions of different cadre posts either through initial recruitment or by promotion needs to be revised afresh as Quetta city, a dense populated city of the province with the population of approximately 3.5 million to 4 million, does not get due share in the policy framed by the government of Balochistan for appointment, promotion and transfer.
In a statement issued here on Thursday, he said that the quota of Quetta city is the lowest, however, on the contrary, the whole of Balochistan is benefiting from Quetta. He added that in the mentioned recruitment policy, after after allocating quota for five percent women, five percent minorities and two percent disabled persons, the remaining posts meant for initial recruitment are further allocated for merit, Kalat zone, Zhob, Naseerabad, Mekran, Quetta zone, Sibi and Quetta city, adding that it is sheer injustice with the people of Quetta city as Quetta city with a population of approximately 3.5 million to 4 million has been placed at the bottom of rotation chart while distributing seats amongst different zones of Balochistan province for recruitment against vacant positions of different cadres. He said that the narrative of quota linked with backwardness does not pass the test of logic. He called on Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, Chief Secretary Balochistan, Abdul Aziz Uqaili, Secretary, Services and General Administration Department, Abdul Rehman Buzdar and other concerned authorities to get the recruitment policy framed by the government of Balochistan during the year 1991 for filling up the vacant positions of different cadre posts either through initial recruitment or by promotion revised so that the deserving candidates of Quetta city could not be deprived of their right of seeking employment in government departments.
