The high-level meeting, held at the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, reviewed evidence linking foreign-based terrorist leaders to local facilitators, including call records and communication data.
According to an official statement, the government has resolved to tighten the noose around the heads, commanders, and operatives of outlawed organizations. A comprehensive list identifying more than 300 terrorists associated with groups such as the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), United Baloch Army (UBA), Baloch Raaji Group (BRG), and Lashkar-e-Balochistan has been compiled.
Chief Minister Bugti underscored the urgency of acting against every internal and external element involved in terrorism. “Those who have shed blood in Balochistan will not be allowed to hide anywhere in the world,” he asserted. He stressed that the government has a responsibility to expose terrorist groups that operate under the guise of political entities.
Under new counter-terrorism laws, the Home Department has been directed to further activate the Provincial Action Plan’s dedicated cell, ensuring that measures against those challenging the writ of the state enter a decisive phase.
“Balochistan will no longer fall prey to any foreign agenda. There will be zero tolerance against enemies of Pakistan and Balochistan, and every last facilitator will be pursued,” Bugti added.
The meeting also approved accelerating the prosecution of cases against the leadership of banned outfits, while expediting the process for issuing Interpol Red Notices through coordination with federal Interior and Foreign Affairs ministries.
Law and order situation in the province has deteriorated rapidly this year. Last year, government imposed several new restrictions to maintain public safety and security in view of the deteriorating law and order situation.
The provincial home department announced a ban on pillion riding on motorcycles, covering faces at public places, the use of tinted glasses, and the operation of unregistered motorcycles across the province.
Officials stated that these measures have been taken with the approval of the provincial government, aiming to curb criminal activities and ensure peace in urban and rural areas.
The decision comes just days after the administration imposed a complete ban on political rallies and enforced Section 144 across the province to prevent large gatherings and potential law and order disturbances.
Authorities have urged citizens to fully cooperate with the administration and adhere to the new rules to avoid legal consequences.
The government emphasised that these restrictions are temporary and necessary for the stability of the province. Law enforcement agencies have been instructed to strictly monitor compliance, particularly in high-risk areas, to prevent any untoward incidents.
