Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Wednesday that the attack on Lahore’s Jinnah Hospital were carried out by the same terrorists who attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team.
According to Rehman Malik, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Lashkar-e-Taiba were involved in attacks on the minorities’ worship places in Model Town and Garhi Shahu on Friday.
He said that the federal government has directed the Punjab government to take action against terror elements taking refuge in the province.
On the release of three Pakistanis from Israel who were on a humanitarian mission, Rehman Malik said that Interpol played an important role for their release.
Talking about the violence in Karachi, Rehman Malik said that the interior ministry has received information on 97 people who were involved in target killing incidents in Karachi.
Later, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that the Jinnah Hospital tragedy has cast a serious doubt, yet again, on the performance of law and order agencies.
He said this while presiding over a meeting held at the CM house to discuss the law and order situation in the province. He said that security agencies should utilize all resources to ensure public security, and insisted that a sense of responsibility is the need of the hour.
He also said that the nation must stand united in these difficult times. Only then the war against terror can be won.
