He said the government would bear full responsibility for the care of the injured until their complete recovery.
Condemning the blast, the chief minister said such “cowardly acts of terrorism” could not weaken the resolve of the nation.
He said the fight against terrorism was not only the responsibility of security forces but a collective struggle of the entire nation.
Mr Bugti said Pakistan and Balochistan had rendered unparalleled sacrifices in the war against terrorism, adding that these sacrifices would not go in vain.
He termed attacks on innocent civilians under the name of ideology or freedom a “foreign agenda” aimed at destabilising peace.
The chief minister said national unity and collective resolve would defeat terrorism, and sacrifices made for lasting peace in Balochistan would be remembered in history.
