Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has on Friday condemned the attacks on the Frontier constabulary and Quetta-bound bus carrying Shia pilgrims from Iran.
He said the security in the country has worsened in recent weeks the remote controlled bomb attack on two paramilitary forces vehicles in Bara and the land mine attack on the Frontier Corps check post in Mach (Balochistan) is evidence that the security is abysmal and that the government has completely failed in providing safety to the people.
The PTI chairman said it is imperative that all resources should be used to ensure that the nation does not fall victim to such security breaches. The law and order situation is of vital importance and the government needs to come up with a strategy on how to combat this menace, he added. He sent his condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives Moreover, terming the attack on the bus barbaric, Imran Khan said the incident is part of the systematic wave of violent attacks against the Hazara community.
He said 60 people belonging to the Hazara community have been brutally killed during the past six months. "There could be serious repercussions if the dangerous trend of increasing frequency and intensity of violent attacks against the Hazara community is not reversed. The security situation of Balochistan is extremely uncertain and continued attacks against a particular community can push the province into a state of complete chaos," he added.
According to him, constant failure to ensure security of the Hazara community despite loss of so many innocent lives is criminal negligence on part of the government. The situation demands the government to undertake emergency measures to stop violent attacks against the community. Stern action should be taken against the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which has openly claimed responsibility of this barbaric attack.
