The appointment of Chaudhry Sarfaraz Bugti, a death squad leader, as Chief Minister in #Balochistan by Pakistani army agencies is deeply concerning. We strongly oppose and condemn his involvement in the Baloch #genocide. @PakSarfrazbugti @BBhuttoZardari pic.twitter.com/C2el9oo5ZM

Expressing concern, Chand posted on X: "The appointment of Chaudhry Sarfaraz Bugti, a death squad leader, as Chief Minister in #Balochistan by Pakistani army agencies is deeply concerning. We strongly oppose and condemn his involvement in the Baloch #genocide. @PakSarfrazbugti@BBhuttoZardari."
After being elected as CM, Bugti recently asked Baloch insurgents to abandon their armed struggle and join mainstream politics for the achievement of the people’s rights.
Speaking on the floor of the house on Saturday after being elected unopposed as Balochistan chief minister, Bugti was quoted as saying by Dawn News: “Rights could not be achieved through arms.”
He said all issues could be resolved through dialogues.
“I will invite the angry people repeatedly to come down and become good citizens and join the struggle of the government in its efforts for the development of the country,” he said.
