Rich in natural resources and the largest province of Pakistan in terms of area, why is it the most backward region of the country even after a century? What are the problems of the Baloch people? Armed resistance movements have been active here for decades.

What measures are necessary to bring the Baloch youth who have resorted to violence into the mainstream? These are the questions to which the newly elected provincial government, by finding the correct answer and implementing the measures according to them, can rid Balochistan of the terrorism that has been going on for years and can move on the path of peace and development.

Mir Sarfraz Bugti, who took over the post of Chief Minister of the province, has secured 41 votes in the House of 65 members, while the National Party of Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch, which holds four seats in the Assembly, did not participate in the election.

The NP also boycotted the election of Speaker and Deputy Speaker and announced that their legislators will sit on the opposition benches.

The JUI(F), which has 10 members, was absent from the House during the voting for the election of the Chief Minister.

However, Jamaat-e-Islami MPA Abdul Majeed Badini and Haq Du Tehreek leader Maulana Hidayatur Rehman Baloch cast their votes in favor of the joint candidate of People's Party and Pakistan Muslim League (N) for the leadership of the province.

The Awami National Party, which has three members in the assembly, supported Sarfaraz Bugti. It is clear from this detail that the new Chief Minister of Balochistan has the support of the majority of the members of the provincial assembly. However, the parties that do not support them should also cooperate in solving the problems faced by the province instead of opposing them, and in case of disagreement with the government's actions, they should play their role positively by pointing out their shortcomings through constructive criticism.

It should be done that this is the demand of real democratic traditions. It is clear from the first speech of Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti in the Balochistan Assembly that he is fully aware of the challenges facing his government.

Speaking on the floor of the House on Saturday, he urged the Baloch rebels to abandon the armed struggle and join mainstream politics to achieve people's rights.

The Chief Minister clarified that dialogue is the right way to solve all problems and his party believes in dialogue and reconciliation and wants the rebels sitting on the mountains to come down, join the national mainstream and  participant in the development of  the country, especially the province of Balochistan.

The chief minister assured the protestors that the government would provide all possible support for their rights enshrined in the constitution, but despite repeated appeals to desist from violence, if the writ of the state continued to be challenged, the government would follow the law.

The Govt will not shy away from fulfilling its responsibility for the sake of maintaining the supremacy of  law and the protection of life and property of the people will be given priority. Mentioning other issues, he said that the government will take all possible steps to solve the problems of governance, education and health in the province.

The new government of Balochistan has the ability to make better progress in solving the problems of the Baloch people due to the support of the two major parties of the country forming the government, so every possible effort should be made to ensure that the new democratic era is the harbinger of development and prosperity for the people of Balochistan. A positive response to the offer should be done through dialogue instead of guns.

It is also worth-mentining here that peace in Balochistan is also important for the game-changer project CPEC. However, our arch-rival India wants to sabotage this project and for this it funds the separatists and anti-state elements in the country, particularly the Baluchistan province. In order to stop this project, India with the help of the anti-state elements made a strong push. Apart from external factors, some internal elements also put obstacles but all their efforts failed and now the situation is that almost all the countries of the region and some countries of the outside world are eager to be a part of it.

Recently, China announced a plan to lay a railway line from Kashgar to Gwadar at a cost of fifty-eight billion dollars.  The project will connect the 1860-mile long railway system from Gwadar to the Xinjiang city of Guanzhou.

The Chaman border with Iran is of great importance in the backdrop of Pakistan-Iran relations, which are giving hope for a bright future.A serious proposal of mutual trade through Islamabad, Tehran, Istanbul train is under consideration.

Road to Makkah project is becoming a reality. As a matter of fact, Chinese companies have already invested around $25 billion under the umbrella of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and  as reported in the media , more projects and plans to the tune of $20 billion are under implementation and will materialize soon. Balochistan will greatly gain from the CPEC projects.
We are living in an era where stronger trade and economic cooperation has become the focus of all countries and in this backdrop the CPEC is a game-changer prject.

To sabotage theCPEC projects, the Indian agenciesare actively involved in sponsoring terrorism in Balochistan. The Pakistani nation and its armed forces crushed terrorism by sacrificing thousands of lives, but a large number of terrorists of the outlawed TTP, who had taken refuge in Afghanistan, returned and established links with some Baloch separatists. After that, suicide attacks and bomb blasts started in Balochistan.

The unbridled propaganda of Indian media and social media also gave them an impetus, through which they are continuously spreading mischief and chaos in Pakistan.

Earlier last month, the secret agencies had issued an alert about 17 suicide bombers arriving in Pakistan, in which it was said that the leadership meeting of the banned TTP in Kabul had planned terrorist activities inside Pakistan, and the terrorists mainly targetted the  Balochistan province.

They want to create political unrest by sabotaging. Several terrorists launched a cowardly attack on Hamramuch and Kolpur complexes of suicide bombers, which were thwarted by our security forces. 9 terrorists, including three suicide bombers, were killed, but four young men were martyred.

Two civilians also lost their lives. Four people were killed in a bomb blast at an election rally in Sibi. The courage shown by our security forces is commendable.

Even in the failed attack of terrorists in Balochistan, there have been revelations regarding the accounts connected to the infamous Indian secret agency RAW, the responsibility of the attack was immediately accepted by the banned Indian-sponsored organization Balochistan Liberation Army.

Indian social media was the first to report the attack, which is a clear proof that it already had information about the attack.
