In a meeting with a delegation from Balochistan, led by Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani, the president said the grievances and a sense of deprivation prevailing among the people of Balochistan would be addressed in light of the recommendations made by the parliamentary committee on Balochistan.

He said the government was paying special attention to the development of the province as the future of the country was linked to it.

Zardari said the government was planning to give special stipends to Baloch students studying in recognised academic institutions in other provinces, adding that this would encourage students to seek admissions in academic institutions in other provinces, helping promote national integration.
