Leader of Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) Marvi Memon has strongly supported the action against militants and extremist groups following acid attack on girls' students claimed by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), saying the state was responsible to maintain law and order, and to take prompt action against the anti-education and peace elements.

She said it was barbaric act, which was strongly condemnable.

She added that peace was badly disturbed in absence of appropriate steps for elimination of terrorists and miscreant's groups, saying people were still feeling unsafe in absence of sufficient protective measures for their life and property. Memon condemned the accepting of Tehreek Taliban Pakistan (TTP) responsibility of the incident, and said Talibans should be eliminated by a prompt action as they were against the female education. To express solidarity with victims of the barbaric act, she informed that PML-N would soon launch a movement aimed at protecting the education rights of female and rise against the anti-education and peace forces in this region.
