QUETTA – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Ministers for Defence, Interior and Information, and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Wednesday visited Quetta to meet the injured children and other victims of the horrific attack on a school bus by state sponsored proxies (Fitna Al-Hindustan) of India.
On the occasion, Chief Minister Balochistan and Commander Quetta Corps gave briefing on the dastardly incident, which led to martyrdom of three innocent children and two soldiers. The incident also left 53 people injured, including 39 innocent children of which 8 are critical. The prime minister, federal ministers and the Field Marshal expressed deep grief over the loss of innocent lives and injuries to the innocent school going children. Seeing the critically injured children, they said it is a shameful and despicable act of terrorism by Indian sponsored proxies.
The prime minister expressed that entire nation stands resolute behind its Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies in the collective will to eradicate the scourge of terrorism and safeguard the sovereignty and security of Pakistan. The prime minister and the Field Marshal highlighted that it is high time that the nation reassert its strong resolve emulating the one it demonstrated recently against Indian aggression, to bring the fight against foreign-sponsored terrorism to its logical and decisive end.
According to Prime Minister’s Office, these terrorist groups, masquerading under ethnic pretenses are not only being exploited by India as instruments of state policy, but they are also a stain on the honour and values of the Baloch and Pashtun people, who have long rejected violence and extremism.
India’s reliance on such morally indefensible tactics, particularly the deliberate targeting of children, demands urgent attention from the international community. The use of terrorism as a tool of foreign policy must be unequivocally condemned and confronted.
Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies will relentlessly pursue all those involved in this barbaric act. The architects, abettors, and enablers of this crime will be held accountable and brought to justice and the truth about India’s cunning role, a real perpetrator of terrorism but feigns as a victim, stands exposed before the world.
