PESHAWAR:Special Assistant to Chief Minister on Information Kamran Khan Bangash Sunday on behalf of government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa appreciated the agreement between the federal government and Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).
In a statement issued here, he regretted that the rogue protests of TLP had resulted in the martyrdom of several civilians and policemen, which was in no way justified by any state or civilization. He recalled that a state cannot be blackmailed by armed groups, nor can it tolerate such internal disturbances and loss of precious lives.
“We as true Muslims and even our parents are ready to sacrifice on the honor of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) but who will decide that the five policemen martyred during the protests were not true Muslims and true lovers of the Prophet (PBUH)”, he added.
He said that strict and severe action had been necessitated by the federal government to stop more bloodshed in the country. However, he said, Prime Minister Imran Khan has shown great prudence and resolved the issue with the help of religious scholars.
He also appreciated the patriotic spirit of the ministers and scholars who actively worked in reaching out to the truce pact.
