“I joined the organisation at the immature age of 14, filled with hatred against Pakistan due to their propaganda. My ignorance led me to harm the state,” he said.

Najibullah disclosed meeting operatives of a neighbouring country’s intelligence agency. “I presented several ideas to them, but they reprimanded me and made it clear they had no interest in our independence. They only supported us to destabilise Pakistan,” he stated.

Earlier, Provincial Minister Zahoor Ahmed Buledi condemned the ongoing cycle of violence in Balochistan, calling it a “heinous game of terrorism.” He accused handlers of misleading innocent youth with false promises and taking them to the mountains. “The government wholeheartedly welcomes those who surrender”, he said
