Pakistan - Opposition Leader demands Ch Nisar’s sacking over Charsadda tragedy

Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah today called for removal of Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan as Federal Interior Minister over Charsadda tragedy.During an informal talk with media persons in Islamabad, Khurshid Shah said every person condemned the terrorist attack on Bacha Khan University but there were no words from Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar on the tragic incident.

He said raising fingers on Ch Nisar is like someone is raising fingers on the Prime Minister.“The responsibility of preventing such incidents lies directly on the interior minister,” he remarked. “Chaudhry Nisar is not fit for the post of Interior Minister. He should be given any other portfolio,” he said.Shah further said that Mian sahab (Prime Minister) will have to take a decision in this regard. He also demanded that a judicial inquiry be ordered into the Charsadda tragedy.

At least 21 students and staff members were killed when suspected Taliban gunmen launched a deadly attack on Bacha Khan University in Charsadda on Wednesday.
