Addressing the news conference, Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfaraz Bugti paid rich tribute to the security forces, Pak Army, FC and Law Enforcement Agencies for the successful operation against terrorists who attacked Jaffar Express train.

He thanked the international community for extending support to Pakistan in this difficult moment and condemning this tragic incident.

The Chief Minister Balochistan said such terrorist incident in which unarmed passengers were held hostages, is against the very traditions and culture of Baloch people.

He said Balochs are the guardians of profound values and rich history but these terrorists have ravaged all those traditions, therefore they should not be called Baloch.     

Sarfaraz Bugti said like Khwarij misusing name of Islam for their terrorist activities have no link at all with Islam, likewise these elements involved in dastardly acts in the name of ‘Balochiyat’ have nothing to do with the Balochs.

He categorically stated that these terrorist elements who shroud their activities under the guise of unparallel development and rights of Balochistan have no connection either with development or Baloch rights. 

He said the only aim of these terrorists is to destabilize the country through violence, therefore, they must be and are being dealt with an iron hand.

Answering a question, the Chief Minister said there is no mercy for those who took arms against the state of Pakistan until and unless they unconditionally surrender.

Replying to another question, he said the door for dialogue has always been open in politics.
