Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi has issued a strong condemnation of the recent blast that targeted a shuttle train near Chaman Phatak in Quetta. In a statement released on Sunday, Abbasi described the incident as a "cowardly act of terrorism" aimed at weakening Pakistan's resolve against militancy.
Abbasi emphasized that such acts would not deter the government from its commitment to ensuring safe and uninterrupted rail operations. He stated, “The anti-Pakistan elements operating from India and elsewhere must know that their attempts to disrupt our progress will fail.” The minister’s statement underscores the government’s determination to continue providing reliable transportation services despite security challenges.
In response to the attack, Abbasi assured the public that all necessary measures would be taken to ensure the safety of passengers and staff. He highlighted the importance of maintaining regular train schedules as a symbol of normalcy and stability in the region. The minister also called upon law enforcement agencies to intensify their efforts to bring those responsible for the blast to justice.
The incident has raised concerns about security along the rail network, particularly in regions like Balochistan where such attacks have occurred before. However, Abbasi’s statement serves as a clear message that the government remains committed to ensuring the safety and continuity of train services across Pakistan.
