Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly (NA) Syed Khursheed Shah Wednesday questioned the statements made by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar in NA when he claimed that a finger of the terrorist involved in the Shikarpur blast had been found.
Shah said that the DIG investigating the Shikarpur incident had earlier briefed that the terrorist’s hands, feet as well head had been found but now Nisar was contradicting that only a finger has been found.
The leader of the opposition went on to say that there needs to be unity amongst everyone to overcome the challenges of terrorism and that disagreements and arguments will lead to nothing. He further said that the nation wants to see action being taken and not just meetings and public statements of condemnation.
Shah clarified that the opposition did not demand anyone’s resignation over the terror incidents in Pakistan but only objected that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should have visited Shikarpur district after imambargah tragedy.
Speaking in the National Assembly, the senior PPP leader stated that the country is plagued by terrorism for the last 14 years, thus, the opposition did not demand any official’s resignation but the premier should have visited Shikarpur after recent terror incident.
Earlier, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar took to the floor of the National Assembly and placed the responsibility of the Shikarpur incident on the Sindh government. Nisar said intelligence agencies and security institutions work under the chief minister.
