In Pakistan’s Balochistan province, security forces have carried out a major and decisive action and carried out the biggest operation against terrorists so far. In response to the increasing terrorist activities and attacks in the state, the Army and Police, in a joint action, have killed 145 terrorists within the last 40 hours. This figure tells what level of attack the security forces have carried out on the terrorist hideouts. During a press conference held in Quetta, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti confirmed the operation and called it a major success for the security of the state.
Zero tolerance policy against terrorism, Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti said – those challenging the writ of the state will not be spared under any circumstances.
Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti clarified that those killed were not ‘angry Baloch’ but were enemies of the integrity of Pakistan. He said that no leniency will be shown to those who attack innocent people and security forces. Bugti stressed that those who would challenge the state’s writ by taking up arms would be answered in the same language. The government believes that this fight is not against any right, but against a conspiracy to destabilize the country, which has been foiled by the security forces.
