The attackers came from FATA which falls under the jurisdiction of the army and federal government. They perpetrated the crime in a military controlled area and went back to FATA. Hence we the KPK government absolve ourselves of all responsibility and reiterate that massive rigging took place in Punjab and we don't accept these assemblies.......
