There seems to be no authority of government in Balochistan. If the provincial chief (i.e. PM) remains under drug influence, how you can expect peace in that province. You can imagine his non-sense thinking by his claim (in the past) that a degree is a degree, real or fake. Some one would tell this idiot that a fake degree is a piece of junk and a proff of criminal mentality of its holder. Real degree is a scholarly award that cannot be given to cheats like our politicians. In this gang of criminals, a disgraced person like Raisani is the PM of a province. What a shame.
