The government will be stern in dealing with Baloch sardars who are against the province's development, Geo television quoted President Pervez Musharraf as saying on Tuesday. Musharraf chaired a high-level meeting in Rawalpindi and said the recommendations of the parliamentary committee on Balochistan must be implemented, reported Geo. He said that development projects should be completed on time, and the government was creating jobs in the province. "Time has run out for those sardars who want to push the province backward," said the president. The Baloch people desired development and the government would empower them by resolving their economic and political problems, he said. Members of parliament have to play a major role in the development of Balochistan and its people, he added.
