QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo has said that elements involved in the terrorist attack in Panjgur and Nushki will be brought to justice.

Talking to journalists here on Friday evening after visiting the secretariat of JUI-Nazaryati, the chief minister said if some elements thought that through such terrorist attacks they could retard the development of and investment in Balochistan, they lived in a fools’ paradise.

At the JUI-Nazaryati secretariat, Mr Bizenjo offered Fateha for the party’s workers who were martyred in the Science College bomb blast last month and assured Maulana Abdul Qadir Luni that the government would pay compensation to the heirs of the victims.

He said that terrorists were not well-wishers of Baloch people and they were carrying out such activities to please their foreign masters.

He said that security forces of the country were strong and would eliminate these terrorists.

The people of Balochistan were with members of security forces who were sacrificing their lives to protect life and property of the masses, Mr Bizenjo observed.
