Chief Minister of Balochistan Sarfraz Bugti has reiterated the government’s unwavering commitment to restoring lasting peace, security, and development in Balochistan, stating that no force can prevent the province from moving forward on the path of stability and progress.
In a statement, the Chief Minister said that banned terrorist organizations, including Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), operating in Pakistan are backed by hostile elements and alleged that India’s intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has played a role behind such networks.
Sarfraz Bugti emphasized that peace in Balochistan remains a top priority and assured that the people of the province would soon witness meaningful and positive changes. He stated that Pakistan and Balochistan are inseparable and that no power can stop the region from achieving peace, prosperity, and development.
Earlier, while addressing students during a special interaction at the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Summer Camp, the Chief Minister highlighted the sacrifices of the people of Balochistan in the fight against terrorism.
He stated that terrorist groups targeted the brave people of Balochistan because they refused to support anti-state elements and rejected violence and extremism. He paid tribute to the resilience of the local population and emphasized that the province’s people remain committed to peace and national unity.
Discussing recent security incidents, Sarfraz Bugti said that the attack on Mangi Dam was aimed at damaging an important water supply project vital for the people of Balochistan. He added that security personnel arriving to assist in rescue and relief efforts after the attack were also targeted.
The Chief Minister informed that a judicial commission has been established to investigate the incident and assured that all facts would be presented before the nation after completion of the inquiry process.
Sarfraz Bugti stated that during a sit-in protest in Quetta, certain political figures attempted to promote a misleading narrative against the state. However, he expressed confidence that the Pakistan Army and the people of Balochistan would collectively defeat organized attempts aimed at creating instability and spreading misinformation.
He further stated that Pakistan has always responded effectively to aggression and recalled that during recent confrontations, the entire nation stood firmly alongside the armed forces of Pakistan.
The Chief Minister made it clear that terrorism and violence cannot be justified under any circumstances. He stated that groups operating with foreign support have witnessed the consequences of pursuing violence and destabilization.
He reaffirmed that Pakistan is a strong and resilient nation that will continue to stand firm against all threats. According to him, the future of Pakistan and Balochistan remains bright, and a time will come when every citizen will be able to live freely and safely without fear.
Sarfraz Bugti also reiterated concerns regarding the use of Afghan territory for terrorist activities against Pakistan, stressing that regional peace requires effective measures to prevent any territory from being exploited for cross-border violence.
The Chief Minister reaffirmed that the government, security institutions, and people of Balochistan remain united in their determination to eliminate terrorism, protect national security, and ensure sustainable peace and development across the province.
