TTAP condemns Balochistan attacks, calls them major security failure

TTAP blames provincial government for security lapses after deadly coordinated terrorist attacks hit multiple cities across Balochistan.

Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan – (Web Desk) – The opposition alliance Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) on Monday strongly condemned the recent wave of terrorist attacks in Balochistan, describing them as a serious failure of the provincial government and law enforcement agencies.

According to the military’s media wing, militants belonging to Fitna-al-Hindustan carried out coordinated attacks on Saturday in several areas, including Quetta, Mastung, Nushki, Dalbandin, Kharan, Panjgur, Tump, Gwadar, and Pasni. The violence claimed the lives of 18 civilians and 15 security personnel.

In a statement shared on X, TTAP expressed deep grief over the loss of lives and paid tribute to the martyrs. The alliance said that such large-scale attacks exposed serious lapses in security and governance in the province.

TTAP further stated that the incidents reflected how weak the rule of law has become in Balochistan and highlighted the growing disregard for the safety and property of ordinary citizens. Questioning the provincial leadership, the alliance said a government lacking public support appeared more focused on staying in power than addressing security challenges.

The opposition group stressed that only governments with strong moral credibility and public trust could effectively confront terrorism and restore peace.

TTAP reiterated its demand for “free and fair elections” in reference to the 2024 General Elections.

It further stressed that “representative governments were the only solution to the problems, not rulers and systems imposed against the will of the public”.

During the early morning hours on Saturday, multiple terrorist cells attacked more than 10 cities and towns in Balochistan. The targets were primarily security and government installations.

Suicide bombers, including female attackers, were part of the assault force. Security forces engaged the terrorists in gun battles across the province.

During the skirmishes, 15 security personnel were martyred and 18 civilians lost their lives. As the attacks subsided, security forces launched a series of cordon-and-sweep operations to clear towns, cities, and the countryside of terrorist presence.
