He even posted a video clip on Twitter praising the soldiers of the country. He even thanked God that his country is blessed with such brave hearts.

The deadly blast happened when the head of Balochistan Muttahida Mahaz completed his party meeting. He was up for contesting polls from Mastung. 

His death was mourned by prominent personalities on Twitter. Director General ISPR, General Asif Ghafoor condemned the attack and said that all Pakistanis stand united against terrorism.

The cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan said, "Am deeply saddened by the Mastung tragedy and will be flying over on the first opportunity."
