Tarar on CM KP
Tarar noted that the incident in Kohat occurred while the Chief Minister (CM) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Sohail Afridi, was in Lahore engaging in political point-scoring.
The Federal Minister for Information stated that the country’s brave soldiers are sacrificing their lives in the war against terrorism.
He also said that the nation and state institutions will continue to work together to eradicate terrorism.
Further, he added that the PTI would not be allowed to spread destruction under any circumstances.
He added that it would have been better had the CM of KP visited the homes of the martyrs, yet he remains intent on sowing discord.
‘Law enforcement agencies making great sacrifices’
He met with the martyr’s family and offered his condolences. Tarar met the martyr’s father, Ikramullah, and offered Fateha.
He expressed heartfelt sympathy with the family. The minister also prayed for them to be granted the strength to bear this loss with patience.
The Federal Information Minister stated that the sacrifices of brave young men like Faheemullah are a source of pride for the nation.
He added that the sacrifices of those who laid down their lives for the country’s peace and security can never be forgotten.
Attaullah Tarar remarked that personnel from law enforcement agencies are making great sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
The entire nation stands with the martyrs and their families. He also prayed for the elevation of the martyr’s spiritual rank and for patience for the bereaved family.
Islamabad tightens security
Previously, security was tightened in Islamabad ahead of possible protest marches and sit-ins.
Authorities have started speeding up efforts to seal the Red Zone, reports say. Containers are being placed at Serena Chowk and other key points to block roads.
The containers are being fixed together with iron bars and metal sheets. They are also being welded so they cannot be moved easily.
