Balochistan CM: State to Try Terrorists, Missing Persons Law in Place<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

News Desk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Islamabad<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti<\/strong>, has announced that effective legislation on the missing persons issue<\/strong> has been completed, stressing that it is the state\u2019s fundamental responsibility<\/strong> to arrest terrorists and produce them before the courts under the rule of law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan<\/strong> conference, Bugti said that individuals who take up arms against the state and attempt to destabilize Pakistan through violence will face decisive counter-terrorism action<\/strong>. He reaffirmed that Balochistan\u2019s accession to Pakistan<\/strong> is a historic fact, while separatist propaganda spread internationally seeks to distort reality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bugti highlighted that for decades, a misleading narrative about Balochistan had been promoted in Islamabad, whereas in reality, separatist militants continue to receive support from a neighboring country<\/strong>. \u201cNo sovereign state in the world tolerates separatist movements,\u201d he said, adding that recurring bombings and terrorist attacks in Balochistan have inflicted irreparable damage on Pakistan\u2019s security and economy.<\/p>\n

Missing Persons Legislation and Counter-Terrorism Measures<\/h3>\n

The Chief Minister declared that this is the first government to take concrete steps<\/strong> to resolve the missing persons crisis. He criticized political groups for exploiting the issue for personal gain, saying it only deepens Balochistan\u2019s backwardness.<\/p>\n

He recalled that Farari camps<\/strong> were established in 2001, and while the 2008 general elections were the most peaceful in the province\u2019s history, militancy re-emerged when certain released individuals in 2018 rejoined banned terrorist organizations. Bugti described the 2016 Quetta Civil Hospital bombing<\/strong>, which killed dozens of lawyers, as a \u201cnational tragedy,\u201d and credited law enforcement agencies for later arresting the mastermind.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan Will Never Be Divided\u201d<\/h3>\n

Reaffirming national unity, Bugti said: \u201cPakistan belongs to its people and will never be divided. Those dreaming of splitting Balochistan like a piece of cake will never succeed in their designs.\u201d He dismissed claims of conflict between Punjab and Balochistan, clarifying that Lahore and Quetta cannot be compared<\/strong>, and development disparities are being addressed.<\/p>\n

He reminded that Balochistan was once \u201cBritish Balochistan<\/strong>\u201d before voluntarily acceding to Pakistan, a fact he described as an \u201cundeniable historical truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focus on Good Governance and Development<\/h3>\n

Bugti emphasized that the Balochistan government<\/strong> is working on reforms in education, healthcare, and governance, with results beginning to benefit ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n

On the occasion, the Chief Minister also announced a Rs. 100 million grant<\/strong> for the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan (SCBA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
