Quetta: In the wake of a tragic attack on a school bus in Quetta, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, along with key ministers and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, has pledged unwavering support for Pakistan’s armed forces in eradicating terrorism.
The recent attack, attributed to Indian-sponsored proxies known as Fitna Al-Hindustan, resulted in the deaths of three children and two soldiers, with 53 others injured, including 39 children, eight of whom remain in critical condition.
During their visit to Quetta, the Prime Minister and his delegation, which included the Ministers for Defence, Interior, and Information, met with the injured victims, expressing deep sorrow over the loss and suffering caused by the attack.
Briefings were provided by the Chief Minister of Balochistan and the Commander of Quetta Corps on the incident, which has been condemned as a shameful act of terrorism targeting innocent schoolchildren.
Prime Minister Sharif emphasized the nation’s solidarity with its armed forces and law enforcement agencies, reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to counter the threat of terrorism and protect its sovereignty.
The Prime Minister and Field Marshal Munir urged the nation to unite in determination, drawing parallels to recent demonstrations against Indian aggression, to decisively end foreign-sponsored terrorism.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the terrorist groups involved are being exploited by India under the guise of ethnic motives, tarnishing the reputations of Baloch and Pashtun communities that reject violence.
Prime Minister Sharif called for international attention to India’s tactics, particularly the targeting of children, and stressed that the use of terrorism as a foreign policy tool must be condemned globally.
Pakistan’s security forces are committed to apprehending those responsible for the attack, holding them accountable, and exposing India’s role in perpetuating terrorism while presenting itself as a victim.
