Caretaker Interior Minister Gohar Ejaz has strongly condemned the attack outside the JUI-F’s office in Balochistan’s Qila Saifullah, saying that he shared the grief of the bereaved families.

“Inciteful elements want to create chaos before the general elections and stop the public from exercising their right to vote,” he said in a post on X.

Terming the attack an extremely cowardly act“, Ejaz asserted that the government would “not let the evil intentions of the enemy succeed at any cost”.
