Condemning the killing of 23 FC soldiers, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Monday blamed that the government and army did nothing for the release of the personnel.
In a statement, Imran Khan hoped that the government and military would let the nation know the veracity or otherwise of this shocking news. He also expressed concern over the fact that the FC men had been held prisoner since 2010 in an area – Mohmand Agency – that had ostensibly been “cleared” by the military. Yet the former government, the military and the present government, had done nothing to release the soldiers.
Imran said the nation should be told why this neglect had happened.
“Each Pakistani life is precious and our soldiers have suffered martyrdom for safeguarding the country and should never be ‘abandoned’ like this,” he said. “Clearly this is also a direct sabotage of the peace talks in the most barbaric way possible,” he added.
