The Pakistan People’s Party member Sharjeel Memon blamed the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of backing the terrorists who were responsible for the recent Quetta blast.
Talking to Express News, he said “in the past we saw the PML-N allying with banned religious organizations and give statements like, ‘don’t attack Punjab we understand your ideology’,” Memon accused. He was emphasizing on the links that PML-N allegedly had with extremist groups in the past.
He further alleged that the Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah was harbouring and nurturing terrorists in Punjab, including those belonging to the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi which claimed responsibility for the recent bombing in Quetta that killed 89 people, mostly Hazara Shias.
While the focal point of Memon's conversation was to criticize PML-N of backing banned organizations, he did speak about the blast on shrine of Ghazi Ghulam Shah Mari in Shikarpur where two persons were killed and twelve others wounded.
Talking about the attack on the shrine of Ghazi Ghulam Shah Mari in Shikarpur, Memon said that the provincial government was trying to protect citizens of interior Sindh, but terrorists were resorting to remote controlled bombs which were difficult to detect and diffuse.
Reverting back to his original stance, Memon said that PML-N had to stop backing the terrorist and their infrastructure, as only then the law and order situation will calm down.
“We have arrested a few members from banned organizations. One of them has accepted that till date he has murdered 100 people and will continue to do so,” Memon added.
In the same news bulletin, Senator Pervaiz Rasheed said, “Shahbaz Sharif has never pardoned any suspect and that it was the Punjab government who arrested the people involved in the Quetta blasts. "When will Sharjeel Memon come and take them,” he questioned on Express News.
He also asked Memon that when would the government question those who were aiding criminal suspects in fleeing the country.

@Voice of D.I.Khan: Under present conditions the best option is to vote for regional parties. At least people can survive. None of national parties are worth voting.
Pot calling Kettle black -- in case he hasn't notice it his party is in charge and Pakistan is considered weak on terrorist by the rest of the World.
Allegations has been levelled by the minister against N league are true or fake require fair and impartial investgation on the high level. I propose a constitution of high level commission prob the matter and place the facts before the people of the country who are still suffering terrorism.
Memon is not a common man he is minister and important front line leader of ppp.Apex court should take suo moto notice of his ststment and hear his arguements on the allegation
First of all Sharjeel Memon question his Federal Interior Minister who issued armed licences to Malik Ishaq.
I guess Imran Khan is the only leader to have the courage to openly condemn the LeJ. My vote for PTI,
After Imran Khan condemned LEJ,, My Vote For PTI,....
In about 12 months this country will collapse. We must thank the leadership of the past 65 years who have brought us to this brink. No point in cajoling every blame game piece which hits the headlines. No one can single out from this responsibility. The pillars of the state which include the media (with its endless ranting on how bad the country is) are all responsible for this collapse. Starting with the political government, intelligence agencies, the defenders of the land, the courts and the media are responsible for the current mockery and the state of affairs
Sharjeel Memon is absolutely correct. PPP tried really hard to eliminate terrorism from Pakistan and it is only because of PML-N and its government in Punjab that PPP could not do that in the last 5 years. To console this, all liberals should vote for PPP in the coming elections also.
So Punjab will handover Malik Ishaq to Sindh assuming that they can't act against him and his fellows?
Shame on PML-N.
