Khuzdar School Bus Attack a Heinous Act of Terrorism, India Must Be Exposed Internationally: Former Balochistan CM Nasir Mengal

QUETTA:Senior Pakistan Muslim League-Q leader and former Chief Minister of Balochistan, **Mir Naseer Mengal**, has strongly condemned the recent **terrorist attack on a school bus in Khuzdar**, calling it a **heart-wrenching and inhumane incident**. The attack claimed the lives of **eight individuals, including six children**, and has sent shockwaves across the nation.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Mengal said the attack was not only a gross violation of humanitarian principles but also an indication of **Indian involvement**, accusing India of instigating terrorism through proxies after facing defeat in direct confrontations with Pakistan.

“Children have no borders; they are always exempt from the horrors of war and conflict,” said Mengal. “Targeting a school bus filled with innocent children is a **cowardly and barbaric act of terrorism**, carried out on the behest of a foreign agenda.”

He demanded that those behind the attack be dealt with an **iron hand**, stressing that the entire nation must stand united and send a clear message against terrorism. “This tragedy is not just an attack on children, but an attack on our future. We must respond with unwavering resolve,” he added.

Mengal further urged the **Government of Pakistan** to present **concrete evidence** of India’s involvement in such acts to the **international media**, and called on **global human rights organizations and world powers** to take serious notice of India’s interference and support for banned outfits.

Expressing deep sorrow over the loss of lives, he extended **solidarity and condolences** to the families of the victims. “We share their grief, and in this moment of tragedy, we assure them they are not alone,” Mengal said.

The statement underscores growing concerns in Pakistan over regional security and rising cross-border proxy activities allegedly supported by India.
