Balochistan: The economic condition of Pakistan, which harbors terrorism, is getting worse day by day. People are not even able to fulfill their daily needs. In Balochistan Legislative Assembly, the President of the Women’s Parliament Forum, Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi, while disclosing this, expressed concern over the future. He said that at least 37 percent of the population of Pakistan is suffering from malnutrition while in Balochistan this proportion has reached almost 50 percent.
