My condolences go out to the families of the policemen who were killed. I hope their loved ones will find the strength to get through this difficult time. Pakistan continues to face challenges in form of terrorism, but I have full hope in seeing the situation improve. The government of Pakistan remains focused on eliminating the terrorists’ elements, and it is imperative for everyone to fully support their efforts.

From now on every drop of blood spilled in the defence of the nation should be avenged by the death of a terrorist.
