Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti on Sunday strongly condemned the deadly bomb blast at Gulistan Market in Qila Abdullah, declaring it a cowardly act of terror and reaffirming the government’s unshakable resolve to eradicate terrorism from the province and the country.
In a strongly worded statement, the Chief Minister expressed deep sorrow over the loss of innocent lives, saying, “The martyrdom of innocent civilians has left us heartbroken. We share the grief of the bereaved families and stand firmly with them in this painful hour. They are not alone.” He also prayed for the swift and full recovery of those injured in the attack.
Calling the fight against terrorism a matter of national survival, Bugti stressed that there would be zero tolerance for those who spread violence and fear. “This is not just a war against a group of criminals—it is a war for the soul and security of Pakistan. There will be no forgiveness for terrorists. This fight will continue relentlessly until the last terrorist is eliminated,” he vowed.
Reaffirming the government’s commitment to justice, the Chief Minister assured the public that those involved in the Gulistan bombing would be swiftly traced and brought to justice. “We will not rest until every hand behind this heinous act is held accountable,” he declared.
The Chief Minister further directed the law enforcement agencies to intensify intelligence-based operations and root out the network responsible for the attack, asserting that the sacrifices of the people and security forces will not go in vain.
