QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti has claimed that Baloch rebels are being sheltered under official patronage in Afghanistan. Speaking at an event in Quetta, he said the line between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ militants had vanished.
He stressed that the narrative being spread was based on distorted history and false claims. “Those who once tried to divide Pakistan met a sorry end,” he said, urging intellectuals to speak out against this futile war.
Bugti also wanted that the Baloch separatists movement could end up like the failed Kurdish struggle. He called for rule of law and peace, saying it is time to stop throwing young people into the fire of violence.
Earlier, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti on Wednesday paid rich tribute to Pakistani forces for breaking the enemy’s arrogance that has once again created history of victory.
He said that the Modi government was thinking that Pakistan was weak, but the Pakistani forces proved through their actions that they could trample the enemy’s arrogant thinking. He expressed these views while addressing a grand public meeting titled “Jashn-e-Fatah” in Quetta on Pakistan’s historic victory against Indian aggression.
Provincial ministers, members of the assembly, tribal elders and a large number of people were present on this occasion.
The chief minister said that we have gathered here to pay tribute to our forces and leadership and we send a message that Balochistan is the forefront of Pakistan, from where the voice of Pakistan has always been raised and would continue to be raised in the future.
He said that whenever India tried to invade, it was given a befitting reply, especially this time, the wisdom, courage and dignity with which the Pakistani army chief faced the enemy is commendable, the people of Balochistan are grateful to them and the entire nation salutes their leadership.
He said that our forces have made sacrifices and destroyed the evil intentions of the enemy, we salute these soldiers who have sacrificed their lives and defended the homeland saying that these sacrifices would never go in vain.
Mir Sarfraz Bugti said that the people of Balochistan are not only brave and proud but also stand with Pakistan like a leaden wall.
