Peace returing to Balochistan with sacrifices of forces: Nisar

LORALAI, (MILLAT/APP): Minister for Interior Chaudhry
Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday said complete peace was being restored
in Balochistan with the efforts and sacrifices of brave law
enforcement forces and the province would soon witness significant
progress through China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The whole country, including Balochistan, was more secure now
due to which more avenues of prosperity had been opened for people,
he said while addressing here the passing out ceremony of Frontier
Corps (FC) personnel.
Inspector General FC Balochistan Major General Nadeem Anjum,
provincial ministers and other high officials were also present at
the ceremony.
Nisar said the people of Balochistan had faced tough time,
but now they were on the verge of attaining prosperity because
of peace being restored there.
The armed forces, Rangers, FC and police, he said, were
determined to root out the enemies, irrespective of the fact
how much they were mischievous, he added.
The whole nation, he said, stood with those struggling for
peace and prayed for their success. Balochistan would be purged
of anti-peace elements, who did not want the province
to prosper and the children to attend schools.
The minister hailed the FC Balochistan for playing its
role in maintaining peace in the province. It was not only
helping secure border along with armed forces, but also standing
shoulder to shoulder with police to handle the challenging
situations in the province, he added.
Lauding the role of FC in social areas, including
health, education and other sectors, he assured that he would
seek more assistance for the force.
Contratulating the passing out personnel, Nisar said they were
going to join practical life, which was a memonent of happiness for
them and their families.
He urged them to foil the nefarious designs of those who did not
want peace and prosperity for the people of Pakistan, particularly
Balochistan.
He said Islam is a religion of peace, which prohibits creating
unrest in society. But some elements were using the religion to spread
chaos in the country and they were those who did not want peace in Balochistan or the country and exploited the youth to fulfill their
designs.
He exhorted the graduating FC youth should to follow in the
footprints of martyrs and ‘Ghazis’, who had left behind heroic examples
of bravery and gallantry to fight the menace of terrorism.
Earlier, IG FC briefed the minister about law and order
situation in Balochistan. The minister hailed the efforts of FC
in maintaining peace in the province and securing border.
