On Thursday, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zaidari said that terrorism was continuing the biggest challenge for Pakistan, but emphasized that Balochistan’s problems needed a political solution to a consensus.

Addressing a press conference in Karachi, he said, “Terrorism is the biggest challenge of Pakistan, but Balochistan’s solution is political … The decision should be taken with consensus so that people can really benefit.”

Since the Taliban’s rulers returned to Afghanistan in 2021, the country, especially in the provinces of the KP and Balochistan border, witnessed the increase in cross -border terrorist incidents.

According to a report by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICS), in August, the incidence increased by 74 % in August, compared to July.

The move has included the Majid Brigade as a specially nominated global terrorist (SDGT) group as a alias. The first BLA, named as SDGT in 2019, has claimed responsibility for several attacks since, including a suicide bombing by the Majid Brigade.

The PPP chairman has called for strong federal assistance to relieve the agriculture sector and provide relief to the flood -affected farmers, while talking about the destruction of the floods in his house, and emphasized that if immediate steps are not taken, the challenges of food security can be intensified.

The PPP chief remarked, “We requested the Prime Minister to impose an agricultural and climate emergency. I am thankful that he heard.”

Bilawal also announced that the Sindh government would use the Benazir Kisan Card to help small farmers get rid of the target.
