Quetta:
The chief minister of Balutchistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti, urged human rights organizations to build a impartial story and based on the facts of the history of Balutchistan, current realities and the global situation.
During a meeting with a delegation from the Pakistan Human Rights Commission (HRCP) at the Secretariat of the Chief Minister in Quetta, the Balutchistan CM said that the current narrative at the national and international level concerning Balutchistan is incompatible with the facts and that it needs a revision to reflect a balanced and precise perspective.
The meeting included in -depth discussions on the law and the order, the conditions of human rights and the social development initiatives of the province.
Building history, Bugti stressed that the membership of the state of Kalat in Pakistan was based on a mutual agreement rather than on coercion, adding certain deliberately distorted groups of historical facts to mislead those who do not know the true history of the region.
Referring to recent terrorist incidents, he condemned the targeted murder of innocent citizens according to their identity, calling it to be part of a broader program by hostile foreign powers, in particular India.
“These terrorist acts have nothing to do with a fight for rights but are part of an organized attempt to destabilize and divide Pakistan,” said Balutchistan CM, adding that supporters of these groups openly expressed their intentions on various national and international platforms.
By questioning the legitimacy of these violent acts, Bugti asked: “What type of movement of rights involves killing people according to their ethnic identity?”
Balutchistan CM Mir Sarfraz BUGTI stressed that these elements rejected dialogue and openly spoke of dividing Pakistan, an unacceptable state of mind in any civilized state or society.
