Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday said the federal government will continue to provide all possible support to ensure sustainable peace in Balochistan and termed a coordinated operational approach in the fight against terrorism “indispensable”.
The security tsar made these remarks while co-chairing a high-level meeting with Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti in Quetta to review the law and order situation in the province.
During the meeting, the two officials reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening security and ensuring lasting peace throughout the province.
The meeting comes as security operations against foreign-backed proxies are underway amid a sharp rise in terrorist attacks in the province.
According to a report by the Center for Research and Security Studies (CRSS), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan were the epicenters of violence during the second quarter of 2026.
Together, they accounted for almost 96% of all violence-related deaths, with over 61% (475) recorded in KP and 34% (265) in Balochistan.
During today’s meeting, CM Bugti gave detailed information on the overall security environment in the province, ongoing counter-terrorism measures and the government’s future strategy to maintain peace and stability.
The meeting decided to further enhance the professional capacity of Balochistan Counter Terrorism Force (CTF) and provincial police.
Participants also agreed to accelerate progress on previously approved measures aimed at strengthening the police force.
The Ministry of Home Affairs assured the Balochistan government of its full cooperation in providing necessary resources to improve the security infrastructure of the province.
Home Minister Naqvi said the federal government would continue to provide all possible support to ensure sustainable peace in Balochistan.
He stressed that immediate and effective implementation of the master plan for restoration of peace in the province was the need of the hour.
Naqvi also emphasized that the government’s security strategy should benefit from the experience and expertise of former Balochistan police chiefs, saying that modern technology, enhanced intelligence capabilities and a coordinated operational approach were indispensable in the fight against terrorism.
According to the security tsar, the federal and provincial governments were moving forward with full unity and coordination to establish lasting peace.
He stated that collective efforts would strengthen the State’s capacity to counter evolving security challenges.
‘The state order must be executed’
The Balochistan chief executive reaffirmed the provincial government’s resolve to stay ahead of terrorist elements on all fronts, saying no pressure would deter the state’s campaign against terrorism.
He said the State order would be enforced at all costs and there would be no space for terrorists in Balochistan.
CM Bugti maintained that creating opportunities for youth through education, skill development, employment and positive engagement remained one of the government’s top priorities.
The Prime Minister added that promoting meritocracy was essential to restore the confidence of young people and ensure equal opportunities for their advancement.
He emphasized that peace, development and prosperity were closely interconnected and pledged that the provincial government would continue to make simultaneous progress in both security and development.
The implementation of peace initiatives and development projects across Balochistan will be further accelerated with the continued support of the federal government, he concluded.
