LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has said the nation will neither forget nor forgive May 9. She said, “May 09 is a dark chapter of our national history. The authoritarians, in their lust for power, did what even the enemy could not do.” She highlighted, “It is very crucial to bring the anti-Pakistan plotters to justice, because their power lust has crossed the red line of honour and dignity of the nation.”
The CM said, “The conspiracy and the perpetrators who weakened the national institution have been exposed.” She added, “Those who violate dignity of the country and the nation for the sake of politics cannot be forgiven. All characters burning in the fire of hatred are about to meet their end.”
Maryam Nawaz Sharif said, “Pakistan is everything for us. The nation has come to know every character behind May 9, and has fully recognised their hideous faces.” She added, “Those who desecrate martyrs do not even know about their exalted status.”
In her message, she vowed to never let May 9 happen again. The perpetrators of May 09 will be seen in the dustbin of history.”
Moreover, the provincial Minister for Information and Culture Azma Bokhari said that May 9, is the darkest day in the history of Pakistan. “One year has elapsed since the occurrence of May 9, incidents but not a single accused has been punished so far,” she said, adding: “A group of miscreants launched an attack on the military installations with an organized planning. Before these attacks, the youth were brainwashed for one year. People’s minds were poisoned against the national security institutions. The youth segment was used to materialize their vested interests.”
The Information Minister said that the May 9 mastermind’s children were sitting in London while the children of the nation were put on a trial in prisons and courts. She said the founder of PTI has destroyed the moral fabric of the nation. “Prime Ministers were sentenced to death, shot down, disqualified and exiled while the PTI founder was pampered. Jinnah House, GHQ were attacked and Radio Pakistan was burnt on the arrest of founder PTI,” she said, adding: “The group of miscreants should keep one thing in their minds that they will have to account for the 9th May incidents.”
Azma Bokhari further highlighted that the masterminds, facilitators and miscreant elements of May 9, incidents should be brought to justice. Every Pakistani takes pride in the sacrifices of their martyrs but this wretched group even made a mockery of their own martyrs. They burnt the monuments of their martyrs and the families of these martyrs are still waiting to get justice from the courts. Their loved ones are still looking at the courts as when punishments will be meted out to these miscreants who desecrated the monuments of their loved ones, she added.
