QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti on Monday said that those killing people from Punjab in his province were terrorists, not Baloch.
Addressing a press conference in Quetta, the chief minister said that the terrorists killed 38 innocent people last night. These were not disgruntled Baloch but terrorists who have no religion.
He said the terrorists have not killed people from Punjab, but killed Pakistanis. The chief minister said that all those involved in the gruesome killing of innocent people would not go unpunished. He said 21 terrorists were killed today by security forces. He said all the terrorists involved in the massacre and their facilitators and backers would be eliminated.
The chief minister said that he was in favor of negotiations, but how the government could talks to terrorists who are killing people and working on the agenda of the enemies to harm Pakistan. He said that there was no way to remove any check post. We will set up more check posts where there are a need and would strengthen security forces.
