‘Terror outfits’ regrouping in Balochistan, NA told

2022-03-30

[Dawn] The interior ministry on Monday confirmed that anti-Pakistain terror outfits are regrouping in Balochistan

via the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

This was revealed in a written reply submitted to the National Assembly during the question hour in response to a query posed by PPP MNA Dr Shazia Sobia Aslam Soomro. She asked if it was true that "anti-Pakistain terror outfits are regrouping in Balochistan via Sistan, and if yes, details thereof along with action plan thereof, if any".

In its response, the interior ministry stated: "Yes, anti-Pakistain terror outfits are regrouping in Balochistan via Sistan."

The response, attributed to Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, also mentioned the measures being taken by the government to mitigate this trend.

According to the response placed before the National Assembly on Monday, the National Intelligence Coordination Committee (NICC) has been institutionalised to integrate all federal and provincial intelligence grids for effective and timely countermeasures. Effective border management and fencing along the western border would also stem this tide, the response added.

"Persistent intelligence-based operations are being undertaken to neutralise terror organizations," the response stated, adding that operational capabilities of the counterterrorism apparatus were being enhanced.

The response also recalled recent government initiatives to engage disgruntle Baloch rustics for reconciliation, including special socio-economic development packages for mitigating murderous Moslem threats in Balochistan and KP, and addressing the most marginalised segment of society through the "Ehsaas Programme" along with engaging the youth in constructive activities.
