ISLAMABAD:
Minister of State for Environment Change Zartaj Gul has held Afghanistan responsible for the murder of police officer Tahir Dawar.
Speaking to media representatives here on Friday she said SP Dawar’s sudden abduction and recovery of his dead body from Afghanistan paints a very suspicious picture.
“The Afghan authorities politicised the release of his body to the Pakistan delegation by making them wait for two hours,” she said, adding the government needs to take the matter seriously now while expressing confidence the interior ministry will soon develop a strategy and inform the people.
The minister further said the event should not be messed up in politicking and it should not be seen as abduction and murder. “It is a bigger game and a proxy war is going on in the region,” she said lamenting Pakistan is affected by whatever happens in Afghanistan.
“Afghanistan has hurt our feelings in this incident,” she added while referring to the murder of Maulana Samiul Haq and urged for such events to be taken seriously as there could a bigger game behind.
SP Dawar: The cop who stared terror in the face
Speaking about smog and pollution she said measurement of the rate of pollution is the job of the EPA. “Unfortunately Karachi has turned into a garbage heap for its solid waste that is not disposed of,” she remarked, adding that smog has also added to the pollution and cleanliness problem.
“Lahore is affected the most by smog and we need to speak to India in this regard,” she said highlighting southern areas of Punjab are being affected by smog of Delhi. “Pakistan is doing its part in facing the challenge but India will also has to play its”.
