Quetta:<\/strong> Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti<\/strong> has said that while the state has never closed the door to dialogue, negotiations with militant organizations involved in acts of terrorism are not possible, particularly those responsible for killing innocent civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during a session of the Balochistan Assembly<\/strong>, Bugti questioned how talks could be held with groups that allegedly remove passengers from buses and murder innocent people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe state has never shut the door on dialogue, but negotiations with terrorist organizations are not possible. How can talks be held with those who pull innocent people off buses and kill them?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Balochistan Moving Toward a Brighter Future\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The chief minister stated that Balochistan is progressing toward a brighter future and that hostile forces are troubled by the province\u2019s development and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He alleged that certain external elements are supporting militant organizations operating in the region and claimed that these groups would quickly weaken if such backing were withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome foreign actors are patronizing terrorist organizations. If that support ends, these groups will soon become part of history,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bugti emphasized that negotiations could only be considered if armed groups first lay down their weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dialogue Within the Constitutional Framework<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The chief minister stressed that dialogue cannot take place on the basis of demands aimed at undermining or breaking the Pakistani state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reiterated that the government remains open to talks with individuals and groups willing to engage within the framework of the Constitution of Pakistan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoors remain open for those who want to negotiate under the Constitution. Dialogue cannot take place on the condition of dismantling the state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concern Over Youth Recruitment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bugti also expressed concern about young people being drawn into violence, saying that many children and teenagers had allegedly been influenced and taken to mountainous areas to join militant activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said efforts should be made to bring such individuals back into society and provide them with opportunities for a peaceful future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Baloch nation has been pushed into a futile conflict. Those children who were brainwashed and taken to the mountains must be brought back,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successful Negotiations Require Acceptance of Law<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The chief minister argued that successful peace talks around the world have generally taken place with political groups and actors that recognize constitutional and legal frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the government is prepared to engage with any political force that accepts Pakistan\u2019s Constitution and laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWherever negotiations have succeeded in the world, they have been held with political forces that accept the constitution and the rule of law,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to Counterterrorism Efforts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bugti maintained that the current government has chosen to treat the fight against terrorism as its own responsibility and is determined to confront security challenges directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, this approach has unsettled hostile elements and increased pressure on militant groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding his remarks, the chief minister pledged that the government would continue its efforts until terrorism is completely eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will continue this struggle until terrorism is fully eradicated,\u201d he said, reaffirming the government\u2019s commitment to peace, security, and stability in Balochistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
