Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti condemned elements spreading false narratives against the Pakistan Armed Forces, saying, \u201cSome political parties are spreading anti-state propaganda, while their own children study abroad. Our state is more important than politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bugti has said that terrorists cannot impose their system on the nation, adding that the people of Balochistan have always stood with the armed forces. \u201cWe must abandon narratives that seek to weaken the state,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, Bugti stated that Baloch people were pushed into a futile conflict, but the state has left the door open for those willing to return. \u201cAround 100 terrorists in Dera Bugti have surrendered to the government of Pakistan. In 2018, these individuals had also retreated to the mountains, and today they have returned. We welcomed them. The surrender of militants is a welcome development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He recalled that the father of former Chief Minister Jamal Raisani was martyred in 2018 and stressed that the militants who surrendered were previously associated with terrorist organisations.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, 900 incidents occurred in the province, resulting in the deaths of 205 security personnel and 280 civilians, Bugti noted. During operations, 760 terrorists were killed. He clarified that allegations of the use of force in Balochistan are false. \u201cThere are no military operations in the province, only intelligence-based operations,\u201d Bugti said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan and its flag are more important than anything else,\u201d he said.\u201cThe martyrs are our pride,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Bugti emphasised that Afghan authorities had assured the world under the Doha Agreement that Afghan territory would not be used for terrorism. \u201cThe Taliban regime has violated this promise,\u201d he added. Two Balochistan officers were among the martyrs, Bugti said, recalling a past attack on his own vehicle in which two people were injured.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister lauded the nation\u2019s support for the security forces: \u201cThe entire nation stands with our brave security forces.\u201d He warned that militancy in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan posed a serious security challenge, but stressed that the Pakistani military is organised, fully prepared, and capable of countering threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dream of imposing an extremist system is impossible in the presence of the nation and the armed forces,\u201d he said, adding that Baloch youth were being pushed into futile conflicts.<\/p>\n

Bugti stressed that stopping terrorist recruitment and cutting their logistical lines is crucial. \u201cInstability in Afghanistan provides militants with logistical support,\u201d he said, calling it a national responsibility for politicians to counter anti-state narratives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just the military\u2019s war; it is a shared struggle of the entire Pakistani nation,\u201d he said. \u201cDiscrediting the security forces strengthens the enemy\u2019s narrative. Some parties are helping the enemy by spreading anti-state propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to past conflicts, he noted: \u201cOn May 9 and 10, the Pakistani nation thwarted Indian designs. During insurgency in two provinces, defaming state institutions is a dangerous act. Popularity is less important than standing for truth and justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bugti concluded, \u201cJust as Abu Jahl\u2019s narrative was popular during the time of the Prophet, but the truth was with him, today the nation must stand with its forces to defeat the enemy\u2019s propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bugti also highlighted administrative and developmental progress in Balochistan. \u201cChief Minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, is my good friend. The people of K-P need governance, peace, and stability now. Continuous political confrontation must be avoided to sustain development. According to FBR data, Balochistan leads in digital financial systems.<\/p>\n

“The province\u2019s tax-to-GDP performance reflects hard work and effective policies. Thirty-two new schools have significantly improved education, while 17,000 teachers have been recruited on merit\u2014a major achievement for the Balochistan government. Hospitals in remote areas are providing essential healthcare, and increased social engagement has strengthened public trust and provincial performance,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
