QUETTA (Dunya News) - Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfraz Bugti engaged in a widely attended Open X Space session, where his evidence-backed conversation dismantled misleading claims about Balochistan, particularly regarding missing persons.
The dialogue drew over 16,000 participants, including sub-nationalists, NGO representatives, and critics, and was praised for its clarity and reliance on verifiable facts, said a news release issued by CM’s Secretariat.
Sarfraz Bugti highlighted that under the Youth Engagement Plan, multiple projects are underway to provide better opportunities for young people across all districts, including Gwadar.
He criticized the Baloch Yakjehti Committee for attempting to incite violence under the guise of missing persons and public rights.
He further noted that the provincial government has introduced pension reforms, an electric vehicles policy, reduced unnecessary expenditures, and implemented comprehensive reforms across departments.
Special funds have been allocated for higher education scholarships through the Education Endowment Fund, while a Rs. 4 billion project is ensuring high-speed internet access across schools, colleges, universities, and health centers.
Bugti reaffirmed that Pakistan’s professional armed forces guarantee that violent elements cannot undermine the writ of the state.
Experts observed that the Chief Minister’s fact-driven stance effectively neutralized propaganda against Balochistan. The overwhelming participation of youth and their endorsement of the state’s narrative was seen as clear evidence of the failure of foreign-backed proxies.
Sarfraz Bugti’s willingness to answer tough questions with composure and evidence was hailed as a model of transparent governance and effective public engagement, setting a new precedent for direct dialogue between leadership and citizens.
