Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, the prime minister, stated on Monday that the issue of Baloch families from Balochistan was being portrayed negatively and in stark contrast to reality, since the Baloch people supported the state of Pakistan. During his visit to the Business Facilitation Centre, the prime minister responded to various questions from the media by stating that armed militants and terrorists were responsible for the deaths of Balochians. He went on, “They were killing teachers, doctors, and lawyers.” He promised them that since they could not be granted permission to kill people, the State would battle them with all of its might. In response to criticism from some media outlets, the prime minister stated that the government was not at odds with Baloch families and expressed remorse over attempts to sow discord.
He claimed that the problem had been exaggerated and mentioned that these terrorists had been killing people in the province while receiving cash and support from RAW. The prime minister claimed that although the war against terrorism had claimed the lives of over 90,000 people, only nine of the accused had been found guilty to date. According to the prime minister, the nation’s criminal justice system needed to be improved. In response to a query, he stated that the right to free speech was unrestricted. In response to a follow-up inquiry concerning an alleged shooting incident in DI Khan involving Maulana Fazlur Rehman Amir of JUI-F vehicles, he stated that it was concerning and that the government was utilising all of its efforts to address security challenges in the southern regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
