Terming the blasts in Karachi a cowardly act of terrorism, Nawaz said, “All institutions will have to work without fear and upholding professional competence for effectively addressing the menace of terror. We have no option but to wipe out the peril of extremism, sectarianism and terrorism. Karachi killings are cowardly act of terrorists.”
