Former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has called for an end to the “politics of terrorism”, saying that all problems could not be solved “with the force of guns”.

“I appeal to the people of Balochistan that don’t indulge in the politics of torture. Quaid-i-Azam created an entire country but never shot one bullet,” he said.

“Do your politics, but in a peaceful way […] I promise to find a solution to all the problems. The people who believe that missing persons is not an issue, this is their misconception, I promise that I will convince them and we will find a solution to this problem.

“We are living in 2024. The entire world makes fun of us when our sisters raise this issue and we don’t even talk to them,” Bilawal said.

He also expressed displeasure at the way the caretaker government engaged with Baloch protesters, terming it “undemocratic”.
