QUETTA: The Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti has stated that those who have adopted path of violence carrying weapons are on wrong side, and there would be no change through their abortive struggle.
The Chief Minister urged the teachers to get the new generation introduced to the difference between delusion and reality.
He regretfully pointed out that all the able teachers and intellectuals were discharged from the province abruptly in the past, the consequences of which are being faced till today.
He said that the youth are being mistrusted from the state under a pre planned conspiracy. Now it is responsibility of the local teachers to steer the society out from the destruction.
The Chief Minister was addressing the teachers at the “safar-e-muallim” (journey of teacher) programme held under the auspices of Voice of Balochistan, here on Saturday. The teachers from all over the province were invited in the programme.
Addressing the ceremony, Chief Minister said that unfortunately the education experts and intellectuals of other provinces were sent back abruptly without training our local teachers, which was a big dilemma.
However, heavy responsibility rests with the shoulders of teachers of Balochistan now to inform the students with difference of delusion and reality getting them acquainted with the present day knowledges.
He also urged the teachers to give that lesson of love with their country and morality, which otherwise has been the hallmark of our forefathers.
Besides, he exhorted the teachers to provide positive guidance to the students getting them introduced to the reality.
He said that we are opening up the doors of knowledge and development for the youth of province.
He also referred to the Benazir Bhutto Scholarship Programme launched for the first time in Balochistan. The children of civilian martyrs as well as 10 children each from all districts including the minorities would benefit under the programme, he added.
He asked the teachers to provide awareness to the parents and students about the Scholarship Programme in their respective districts.
He said that it is time for the Balochs to ponder upon that whether their identity and development is in the present set up or in the domain of those nearby countries where there is no identity of theirs nor they have religious and traditional freedom. These countries are facing instability and anarchy, he pointed out.
The Chief Minister asserted that no one should be in any misunderstanding, and that no one can dismantle this great state. He said that the people while sitting in abroad are misleading the youth of Balochistan. He said that imbalance development is not only the issue of Balochistan or Pakistan, rather it is the issue of whole world.
On this issue, displeasure or annoyance can be expressed with every government, but distance is not adopted with the state nor the path of violence is adopted.
The Chief Minister said that the process of sustainable development is possible by improving governance. He stressed that there should be connection of love and respect between the state and citizens, for all of us have to play our positive role.
In the end, the Chief Minister also gave away the laptops to the teachers.
