Balochistan chief minister rules out dialogue with armed groups

Sunday, 13 September 2026, 06:36 · 1 min read

Balochistan (Pakistan's largest and most restive province) Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti declared on Saturday that there would be "no dialogue in any case" with those who have taken up arms against the state, vowing to continue military and security operations until the "last terrorist" was eliminated. Speaking to senior journalists via video link at the Chief Minister's Secretariat, Bugti affirmed that the civil and military leadership were united on the matter with "no ambiguity or confusion." The remarks underscore Islamabad's hardline stance toward Baloch separatist and militant groups at a time when the province remains the centre of a long-running insurgency and frequent attacks on security forces.
