Referring to attacks on civilians, Sanaullah questioned the justification of these acts. “Killing 22 to 23 laborers—is this what they call a freedom struggle?” he remarked, dismissing it as nothing more than targeted violence.

He called for addressing the grievances of the local population at both local and national levels. Sanaullah also highlighted the need to promote development projects in Balochistan, ensuring fairness and justice for its people.
