“He’s OK. The gunmen and the others who were with him also suffered minor injuries, but they are all fine. He is hurt, but the situation is not life-threatening. There isn’t currently a significant problem.
He added that the event happened after they crossed Mastung and that Hamdullah and the others were traveling from Quetta to Kalat.
“We still do not know if it was a suicide blast or a planted bomb,” he continued. Hamdullah sahib and two other people have been hurt, according to the information I have received. Everyone is fine, and the situation is not serious.
According to Ghauri, the injured were sent to a hospital in Quetta.
Separately, Zubair Jamali, the interim home minister for Balochistan, strongly denounced the occurrence and ordered the pertinent agencies to submit a report on it.
He prayed for the injured’s quick recovery and gave the district administration instructions on how to assist them. He declared that every tool at our disposal would be used to get rid of terrorists.
The “dastardly attack” was harshly denounced by Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar, who also prayed for the injured people’s quick recovery.
He also emphasized how united the country was in its response to terrorism.
In the meantime, acting Information Minister Murtaza Solangi said it was cowardly to attack political figures and innocent individuals and that those who support terrorism should not be given any leeway.
He emphasized that the entire country is unified in its opposition to this threat.
Asif Ali Zardari, a former president, strongly denounced the incident and offered prayers for the injured. “Terrorists and facilitators involved in terrorism should be brought under the law,” he declared.
