QUETTA:

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday reiterated that entire nation stood resolute behind its armed forces and the law enforcement agencies in the collective will to eradicate the scourge of terrorism as well as safeguard the sovereignty and security of Pakistan.

The prime minister, minister of defence, minister of interior, minister of information and Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir visited Quetta to meet the injured children and other victims of this horrific attack, PM Office Media Wing said in a press release.

They expressed their deep grief over the loss of innocent lives and injuries to the innocent school-going children.

The visitors seeing the badly wounded and critically injured children expressed that such a diabolical act of terrorism through these Indian sponsored proxies is a shameful and despicable act.

Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti and Commander Quetta Corps briefed the visitors about the dastardly incident which led to martyrdom of three innocent children and two soldiers along with 53 injured including 39 innocent children of which eight were critical.

The prime minister and the chief of army staff, field marshal highlighted that it was now time that the nation displayed a very strong resolve similar to the one shown recently against the aggression by India, to bring the fight against foreign-sponsored terrorism to its logical and decisive end.

In a reprehensible and cowardly act of terrorism, a school bus carrying innocent children was targeted in Khuzdar, Balochistan by state sponsored proxies (Fitna Al Hindustan) of India which the world has largely come to know as epicentre of instability in the region.
