QUETTA – Chief Minister Balochistan, Sarfaraz Bugti, in a recent televised interview, made strong remarks against those involved in the Khuzdar school bus attack, declaring, “The killers of innocent children do not deserve to be called Baloch — they are terrorists.”
He emphasized that terrorists have no religion or ethnicity and are merely tools of foreign proxies.
CM Bugti confirmed that the armed forces are actively carrying out intensified operations against militants, especially those backed by India.
He said that Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) terrorists are not only sponsored by India but are also receiving medical treatment there.
Addressing the province’s broader issues, he stated that a functional commission has been established to investigate missing persons, and amendments are underway in anti-terrorism laws.
He also highlighted progress in governance, noting that corruption is being curtailed and merit-based practices are being restored.
