Balochistan CM to youth: Engage with state, not ‘anti-state’ narratives

: CM Bugti Calls for Youth Dialogue, Vows No Talks with "Anti-State" Elements

QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister CM Mir Sarfaraz Bugti, addressing the National Youth Summit 2025 on Wednesday, emphasized the critical need to engage the province’s youth with “reality, truth, and facts” to shield them from anti-state narratives, while simultaneously ruling out any dialogue with elements seeking to split the country.

Speaking at the summit’s concluding session at BUITEMS University, CM Bugti stated that his government’s vision is to uplift the weak and stand against powerful criminals. He cited his administration’s support for a woman threatened in the name of “honor” in Musa Khel as evidence of this commitment, affirming that the constitution mandates standing with victims.

Shifting to a firm stance on security, the Chief Minister launched a sharp critique against those advocating for talks with “anti-state elements.” He questioned the logic of provinces that harshly punish street criminals while “lecturing us to hold talks with the people who are daily attacking our forces and the public.” He declared there is “no space” for those dreaming of splitting the state.

Amid these messages, CM Bugti made a key announcement for the youth, revealing that the Balochistan government will ensure free internet access for students at educational institutions across the province to facilitate research and learning.

Concluding on a note of achievement, the CM claimed his government had successfully restored the state’s authority, pointing to the fact that “no roads are closed in the name of protest in Balochistan today.”
