In response to a series of horrific attacks in Balochistan that resulted in over 50 deaths, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited the provincial capital on Thursday and vowed to completely eradicate terrorism from the province at all costs, saying the “blood of martyrs will not go in vain”.
The premier made these remarks while chairing a high-level meeting of the National Action Plan’s provincial apex committee.
Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Balochistan Governor Sheikh Jaffar Khan Mandokhail, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, security czar Mohsin Naqvi, federal ministers Ahsan Iqbal, Attaullah Tarar, Jam Kamal, corps commander, and other armed and civilian officials were in attendance.
Terming the incidents “tragic and barbaric”, the prime minister said all terrorist organisations, the “Khawarij” and facilitators hatched the terror plot which resulted in martyrdom of innocent civilians and security personnel.
“The entire nation is grieved by the recent tragic incident occurred in Balochistan. Khawarij who shed the blood of innocent people will be crushed through joint efforts of the nation and the valiant forces of Pakistan,” he said.
