TTAP condemns spate of terrorist attacks in Balochistan, labels it ‘security failure’

ISLAMABAD: The opposition alliance Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) on Monday condemned the spate of attacks in Balochistan last week, and called it “a security failure on the part of the provincial government and law enforcement agencies”.

In a statement, posted on X, the TTAP condemned the attacks and expressed sorrow with the martyrs. It noted that “a terrorist attack in the province on such a large scale was a failure on the part of the provincial government and LEAs”.

The opposition alliance stated that the series of attacks showed the “extent to which the rule of law has become limited in the province and the lack of concern for the lives and property of citizens.”

“For how long will we turn a blind eye to the fact that the provincial government — which does not have the public’s support — is only interested in prolonging its time in power,” TTAP said.

The opposition alliance maintained that “only governments whose own moral standing was not under question were capable of combating terrorism”.

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”. Staff Report
