Federal Minister for Defence, Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif has said that the killing of labourers near Gwadar, Mastung blast and other such incidents are an attempt to destabilise Pakistan by India.
Talking to the media here Sunday, the minister said that the attacks were being carried out by India and other anti-Pakistan forces to sabotage development projects like China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Kh Asif said that all Pakistani geographical boundaries would be protected at all costs. Khawaja Asif referred to the killing of labourers, who were gunned down in two separate incidents on the outskirts of Gwadar on May 13.
The incidents took place in the Pishgan and Guns Road area of Gwadar where the labourers were working on construction projects.
Most of the victims are said to be natives of Naushero Feroze, Sindh, according to sources.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the killing of innocent labourers, saying every step will be taken to bring peace to Balochistan.
Balochistan Home Minister Sarfaraz Bugti had termed the incident an attack on Pakistanis, saying the perpetrators will be brought to book. He added that it seems that RAW-funded terrorists are behind the attack.
