Quetta (Qudrat Daily): Shahid Rind, Advisor to the Chief Minister of Balochistan for Information and Political Affairs, while appreciating the ongoing intelligence-based operations by security forces against terrorists in Kolpur, Kirdgap, and Nushki areas, has said that the sacrifices and professional resolve of security forces for the complete elimination of terrorism and protection of public life and property are commendable.
In a statement, Shahid Rind paid tribute to security forces for killing eight terrorists of the Indian-sponsored Fitna-ul-Hindustan, including a suicide bomber, during an operation in the Kolpur area. He said that the successful operation against terrorists and the recovery of a large quantity of arms and ammunition is a manifestation of the security forces’ effective strategy and professional capabilities.
Shahid Rind expressed deep sorrow and regret over the martyrdom of Major Umar Munhas Naser and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan as a result of terrorists’ attacks on security forces’ vehicles using armed quadcopters, and said that the brave sons who sacrificed their lives for the defense of the homeland and the establishment of peace are the pride of the entire nation. He expressed heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the families of the martyrs and said that the nation will never forget the great sacrifices of its martyrs.
The Advisor to the Chief Minister said that terrorist elements active under Indian sponsorship are attempting to target security forces and innocent citizens using modern drone technology, explosives, and other means of sabotage; however, security forces are fully aware of these evolving threats and will not allow terrorists to succeed in their nefarious objectives. He said that effective security measures, patrolling, and continuity of clearance operations in Quetta, the Taftan National Highway, and other important highways and sensitive areas are indispensable for the protection of the people and the restoration of normal life. The continuation of operations until the complete elimination of the threat of terrorism is an expression of the resolve that the state will not compromise on peace and order.
Shahid Rind said that under the National Action Plan and the vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” approved by the Federal Apex Committee, the ongoing operations against terrorism reflect the national resolve for the elimination of externally sponsored terrorism from the country. He said that the people and government of Balochistan stand shoulder to shoulder with the security forces, and the sacrifices made for the establishment of peace will not go in vain.
