Naqvi also clarified that terrorists would no longer be referred to as “angry Balochs,” pointing to zero tolerance policy to deal with the miscreants.

“Foreign forces are involved in a bid to destabilize the region.”
The minister gave details of a recent incident in which the Assistant Commissioner of Kalat was targeted but remained unharmed.
He identified the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as being involved in the recent wave of terrorism, noting that some of those responsible had previously been released.
Naqvi said that joint efforts of both provinces (Punjab and Sindh) are underway to clear the Kacha area from Bandits.
The minister said that he was in close contact with the Chief Minister Balochistan, and they are formulating a comprehensive plan to address the current wave of terrorism.
He emphasized that the attackers are terrorists and assured that strong action will be taken against them.
