The Balochistan government has decided to take strict action against government employees involved in anti-state propaganda and subversive activities.
Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti, while chairing a high-level meeting, emphasized that officials promoting anti-state narratives will be closely monitored at the district level and included in the Fourth Schedule.
During the meeting, administrative officers were briefed on the law and order situation and service delivery across the province. CM Bugti directed all commissioners and district officers to take immediate action against any government employees engaged in subversion and activities against the state.
He further stressed that every educational institution in Balochistan must ensure the hoisting of the national flag and the singing of the national anthem. Heads of institutions failing to comply with these directives were asked to resign, as implementing state orders is part of their official duties.
The chief minister reaffirmed that government officers must remain committed to their constitutional oath and resist any pressure from anti-state elements or political pressure. He stated that maintaining law and order is the government's top priority, adding that the government gives the policy, but its implementation is the responsibility of field officers.
Bugti said that restoring law and order was the top priority of the government, insisting that no highways in the province will be allowed to close. Each district officer has been tasked with ensuring the writ of the state in their respective areas.
Highlighting the ongoing fight against terrorism, CM Bugti said it is a collective battle that requires the involvement of every institution and citizen. He made it clear that any officer unable to implement government policies should voluntarily resign.
Furthermore, he warned against extortion at security checkpoints, stating that any verified complaints would result in the immediate dismissal of the responsible SHO or Levies risaldar.
The chief minister also expressed concern over the manipulation of Baloch youth, stating that they are being pushed into a futile conflict with no real outcome. He urged officials to restore the youth's trust in the state by ensuring merit-based opportunities at all levels. The government has already approved a youth policy, and district officers have been instructed to engage the younger generation in positive activities.
The meeting was attended by the Balochistan chief secretary, police chief, and officials from the home department and S&GAD. In closing, prayers were offered for the martyred security personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.
