DAWN.COM
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has strongly condemned the barbaric terrorists’ attacks on Sardar Bahadar Khan Women University and Bolan Medical Complex in Quetta resulting in huge loss of human lives. At least 20 people including girl students have died in the terrorist attacks in the capital of violence-ridden Balochistan province on Saturday. Bilawal has called the attacks inhuman and beastly acts, which he said the people of Pakistan will never tolerate. In a statement, he said that such attacks are meant to tear down the civil society and take it hostage to impose darkness. “Terrorists need to be dealt with an iron hand instead of appeasing them to protect Pakistan and its founding ideology,” he added. He said schools, hospitals and mosques are being attacked by the terrorists to keep the people illiterate, maimed and spiritually hollow by holding the masses of the country captive. The PPP chief sympathised with the families of victims who lost their lives in the attack and expressed solidarity with them. He stressed that special arrangements should be made for timely treatment to all those injured in the attack. He also condemned the rocket attack on Quaid-e-Azam residency in Ziarat adding that enemies of Pakistan have mounted these attacks on the very founding assets of the country and its history.
