Pakistan: Nation shocked at Shia community killings

Governor KP has said the whole nation has been deeply shocked by killing of innocent Shia community. Talking to the Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan Syed Mehdi Shah on telephone on Saturday, Governor Barrister Masood Kausar said that the worst type of inhuman act of terrorism indeed speaks the cruel mindset of the culprits who could no more remain at large and would be brought to justice. Indeed the joyous occasion of the ensuing Eid-ul-Fitr for the countrymen in general and like Gilgit- Baltistan, the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA in particular will be equally over shadowed by the shocks of the tragic incident, he added. He also requested the Chief Minister GB to convey deep sympathies on behalf of the people of the province and FATA, besides his own-self to the bereaved families and prayed for the eternal peace of the departed souls. Meanwhile, the Governor has also telephonically talked to the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal, Tahir Rafique Butt and while strongly condemning the terrorist attack has also highly eulogized the timely and courageous response of the security forces to foil the cowardly act of terrorism. He has also expressed his deep sympathies with the bereaved families of the martyr soldiers and prayed for the eternal peace of the martyrs.
