QUETTA: Chief Minister of Balochistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti, has strongly criticized opposition leader Omar Ayub Khan’s comments on Balochistan’s law and order, calling them misleading and detached from reality. Bugti challenged Ayub to visit every district of Balochistan to witness the actual situation firsthand.
