QUETTA: The Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti has firmly stated that India cannot harm Pakistan anyway.
He said that the Pakistani nation is as strong as a fortified wall and every tactic of India will fail. He emphasized that the people of Pakistan are ready to make every sacrifice for the country’s security and that no force can even harm a hair on Pakistan’s head.

In a symbolic gesture before his speech, the Chief Minister had the bulletproof rostrum removed from the stage, which had been placed there for his security.

He added that from the ground of Pishin and Barshore, a strong message has also been sent to India: the people of Barshore, Pishin, Balochistan, and Pakistan are not afraid of Modi’s threats. “Anyone who casts an evil eye on Pakistan will lose that eye.
