Speaking at a large public rally in Bershore, Bugti said, “India cannot harm Pakistan. The Pakistani nation is like a wall of steel. Every move by India will fail. We are ready to offer any sacrifice for our homeland. No force can break Pakistan.”
The Chief Minister stressed that the people of Pishin, Balochistan, and across Pakistan are united in their support for the Pakistan Army and its leadership. He strongly criticized those spreading propaganda against the military, saying such elements have already failed. “We reject the ideology of violence and extremism. We are servants of the people and will always stand among them,” he added.
Bugti revealed that security officials had warned him about a threat in Bershore, but he chose to address the rally regardless. “No power can keep me away from my people,” he said. “This is the most important day of my life, to be present among you and speak directly.”
He lauded the courage of Bershore’s residents for sending a powerful message to terrorists: “If you want to shut down our schools or silence our public spaces, we respond with unity and resolve. From this soil, we send a loud and clear message to Modi: We are not afraid of your threats.”
Bugti announced several development projects for the area, including the activation of the Bershore grid station, a new cold storage facility, and the recruitment of 50 Levies personnel. He said 72 out of 73 inactive schools in Pishin have been reopened and directed the district administration to reopen the final one before his return to Quetta.
Reaffirming his commitment to merit-based hiring, Bugti said, “I declared on the Balochistan Assembly floor that jobs will not be sold. Today, poor citizens are being employed based on merit, without discrimination.”
He pledged full educational support for the children of those martyred in terror attacks during elections in Bershore. “These children will study in the same institutions where children of the privileged learn,” he said.
Bugti also announced a special development package for Bershore, Karezat, and Bostan. He revealed that a new girls’ college and hospital would be established in Toba Kakari and that the Levies station would be named after Shaheed Hanif. A new municipal committee for Bershore was also announced.
He vowed strict action against illegal mining in the region, asserting that local communities will have the first right to benefit from mineral resources.
Praising Asfandyar Kakar, Bugti said, “He never sought a ministry. He always stood for the people’s rights.” He also expressed deep concern for abducted child Musawir Kakar and said all resources were being deployed for his safe recovery.
Bugti paid tribute to former Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, commending his efforts in representing Pakistan effectively on the global stage. “We are proud of Balochistan’s son who brought honor to both the province and the country,” he said.
Concluding his address, the Chief Minister said, “We were one, we are one, and we will remain one. With sincerity and dedication, we will continue to serve Pakistan.”
Earlier, former Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar and Parliamentary Secretary Asfandyar Kakar also addressed the public gathering.
