State Never Tires, Those Dreaming of Dividing Pakistan Will Fail: CM Balochistan Sarfraz Bugti

**Quetta:** Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has said that Pakistan is a strong and invincible state that will endure forever, warning that those who dream of dividing the country will fail. He emphasized that youth are Pakistan’s bright future and the nation’s true asset, and educating them about accurate historical facts and the national narrative is crucial.

Addressing participants of the **18th Balochistan National Workshop**, CM Bugti highlighted that the state in Balochistan has never pursued a policy of indiscriminate use of force. He clarified that limited and targeted actions should not be misrepresented as state operations. He stressed the importance of distinguishing between widespread perceptions and ground realities, warning that organized false narratives on social media have created a divide between youth and the state, misleading young people through psychological manipulation and recruitment tactics. He asserted that attempts to weaken the state through violence and unrest will never succeed.

Offering dialogue, CM Bugti said he is ready to engage with youth at every educational institution, university, and national forum, and will answer even the toughest questions with logic, dialogue, and facts. He urged young people to adopt positive, truth-based thinking rather than blindly following negative narratives.

Highlighting the provincial government’s achievements, he said that an effective governance model has been introduced in Balochistan, noting that poor governance fuels anti-state sentiments, while good governance ensures stability. Over 3,200 closed schools have been reopened, and basic healthcare facilities have been provided in several underdeveloped areas for the first time since Pakistan’s creation.

CM Bugti described the **Benazir Bhutto Scholarship Programme** as the largest educational scholarship initiative in Balochistan’s history, providing scholarships to children of civilian martyrs, minorities, and transgender individuals. He added that students in Balochistan can now pursue education in science subjects at top global universities, with over 200 universities offering PhD opportunities.

He reaffirmed his commitment to continue working for the betterment of Balochistan until his last day, hour, and moment.
