QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has said that Pakistan achieved another major diplomatic success at the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, where India’s attempt to link Pahalgam with Pakistan was effectively thwarted.

In a statement on social media platform X, CM Bugti revealed that Pakistan presented concrete and irrefutable evidence of Indian interference in Balochistan during the SCO summit, successfully drawing international attention to the issue.

He emphasised that Pakistan has long been warning the world that India is actively fueling unrest, terrorism, and insurgency in Balochistan in an attempt to sabotage regional peace.

“We now possess evidence that goes beyond mere allegations—these are solid facts, sufficient to shake the conscience of the international community,” he said.

CM Bugti affirmed that Pakistan is ready to present this evidence at every international forum that values truth and justice.
