Balochistan CM offers condolence, aid to families of South Punjab martyrs

MULTAN: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti visited Shujaabad to express his condolences and sympathies to the heirs of the labourers martyred in the terrorist attacks in Panjgur and Musakhel, offering prayers for the martyrs.

Sarfaraz Bugti said the heirs of the martyrs share their grief equally. May Allah allow the holy blood of the martyrs to be avenged. He gave relief checks of Rs 1.5 million to the families of the martyrs and Rs 0.5 million per person to the injured workers.

While talking to the media, he strongly condemned the incidents of terrorism. No Baloch martyred any Punjabi or Saraiki brother. Terrorists do not belong to any nation or religion, he said. “Every conspiracy against the country will fail. Every single drop of holy blood of innocent people will be counted. Terrorists martyred innocent people of Pakistanis. The Baloch is a hospitable nation. Terrorism is not their tradition.” He further said that people coming from Punjab play a role in the development of Balochistan.

“We will root out terrorism and establish peace and order. All Baloch tribes have condemned the terrorist incident. We will root out terrorism. Not a single terrorist involved in this incident will survive, Bugti said, adding that the government of Balochistan will bear the educational expenses of the children of Punjab martyrs for up to 16 years. In response to a question, he said that there is strong evidence of the involvement of the Indian agency ‘RAW’ in terrorism in Balochistan. “The notorious agency-funded Lashkar is doing terrorism in Balochistan. All-out protection is provided to the people working in Balochistan.” On this occasion, MMNA Syed Abdul Qadir Gilani expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti for his sympathy and assistance to the martyrs. He said that they all stand united to make Pakistan stronger. The opposition leader of the Balochistan Assembly was also present.
