Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti on Tuesday chaired a meeting in Ziarat after nine policemen were martyred in a terror attack. In a statement, Bugti warned that anyone challenging the state’s mandate would face only defeat and destruction.
The Chief Minister reiterated that indiscriminate operations against terrorists and their enablers will continue until the last militant is eliminated. He stressed that those who raise arms against the state will find no refuge in Balochistan.
Bugti stressed that there will be no compromise on the peace, stability and development of Balochistan and any conspiracy against the province will be crushed with strength, determination and national unity.
