How long will the government and the armed forces stand as silent spectators on the killings of innocent people
The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has strongly condemned the blast inside a preaching centre in Peshawar. He expressed his grief and sorrow on the killing and wounding of several people who were busy in offering the Maghreb prayer. Condemning the acts of terrorism perpetrated by the Taliban militants, he asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif as to how long the government and the armed forces would stand as silent spectators on the killing of innocent citizens.
Mr Hussain said it was time that the government and the armed forces arrived at a decision for dealing with the terrorists, who were spilling the blood of innocent people, in a decisive way. He said that it would be too late if the decision was not taken soon. He said that the leaders and political parties who were declaring the elements involved in the killing of innocent people as fellow Muslims and Pakistanis and who were supporting the Taliban militants carrying out blasts in mosques and shrines of saints are equally guilty.
Mr Hussain said that the nation would have to wake up and socially boycott the leaders supporting the Taliban else the raging fire of terrorism would burn the houses of everyone.
Mr Hussain offered heartfelt condolences to the grieving family members of the people who lost their lives in the blast in the preaching centre. He prayed Almighty Allah to shower His blessings on the departed soul.
