Baluchistan’s prime minister, Sarfraz Bugti, has strongly condemned the recent attack against Jaffar Express and the hostage of passengers by terrorists, stating that “aiming at unarmed people is not part of Baloch’s traditions.”
Speaking at a session of the Baluchistan Assembly on Wednesday, Bugti asked: “Why are we afraid of appointing them [elements] Who perform murders in Baluchistan? “
The unknown number of militants exploded a railwayway, opened fire and kidnapped the Jaffar Express near Bolan in Baluchistan on Tuesday. The train, on Quetta’s route to Peshawar, had more than 400 passengers on a 30 -hour trip.
Bugti also questioned: “Should we apologize for the murders of 500 people?” He stressed that terrorists tried to impose their ideology through violence, declaring that even war had its principles. He also pointed out the rich history of courage and hospitality within the people of Baloch.
The Prime Minister condemned the actions of the terrorists, citing incidents in which innocent civilians, including hairdressers and laundries, were kidnapped and killed.
He said that these elements were not interested in the dialogue and reiterated several times during the information sessions in the Chamber that such groups would not succeed in taking advantage of any land in Baluchistan.
Bugti promised that anyone who defends the rupture of the State or resorts to weapons was eliminated. He assured that the State would protect the people of Baloch common, but would not tolerate those involved in the murder of innocent citizens.
In response to the attack, the Baluchistan assembly approved a resolution condemning terrorist violence, which was presented by the advisor of the principal minister on sports and young matters, Meena Majeed Baloch.
