Sardar Sarfraz Bugti said that such incidents are viewed negatively in Baloch traditions, and terrorists have violated Baloch customs. He clarified that these terrorists have no connection with the Baloch nation, and the war on terrorism has nothing to do with Baloch rights. He stated that such incidents aim to destabilize Pakistan, and he expressed gratitude for the international community’s condemnation of the Jaffer Express attack.
The Chief Minister of Balochistan further stated that during the tenure of the PTI government, terrorists were brought in and settled. He accused India’s intelligence agency, RAW, of supporting all these terrorists, calling them “the grandmothers” of these militants. He emphasized that the state must respond to terrorism like a nation.
Moreover, he also raised the question, “Are missing persons only a Pakistani issue?” He asserted that the security forces can eliminate terrorists and that it is the government’s responsibility to search for the missing persons.
Sarfraz Bugti stated that these are not angry Baloch, but terrorists. He mentioned that during the previous government, such elements were released from prisons, and once released, they established new camps.
Moreover, he stressed the importance of understanding the ground realities of Balochistan. He stated that terrorists want to divide the country, but clarified that he never claimed that Balochistan is a land of milk and honey, adding that this does not mean there should be bloodshed.
