KARACHI:
Sindh chief minister's adviser on information, law and anti-corruption, Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that those talking about the deaths of children in Tharparkar should also take notice of the deaths of innocent children in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
In KP, during the last six months, over 3,900 innocent children have been killed, he said, adding that 1,720 of the victims were a month-old while 2,259 were infants.
"These numbers aren't the Sindh government's, but are from a report submitted in court," he said. "Till when will Fawad Chaudhry and company remain silent over the deaths of innocent children?" he questioned.
Wahab was referring to a report submitted by the Pakistan Medical Association in the Supreme Court. The report is based on statistics collected from hospitals in K-P.
