Following a deadly terrorist attack on school children in Peshawar on Tuesday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan postponed his party’s countrywide anti-government protests scheduled for December 18 and said that a Ghaibana Namaze Janaza (funeral in absentia) would be offered at D Chowk in the federal capital on Wednesday (today).
The party also postponed its talks with the government committee over the proposed judicial commission to investigate rigging allegations in last year’s elections. Khan said the talks that were scheduled to be held on Tuesday had been postponed after consultation with the government.
Speaking to journalists in Peshawar, the PTI chief said that he was devastated by the attack on a school in Peshawar, which left 133 students killed.
“It is a collective failure. There should be no blame game on this tragic incident. Every Pakistani is in a state of shock. There should be no politics,” he stressed, urging the nation to unite against terrorism.
Khan said that everything is possible if Pakistani nation puts up a joint front. He said that he would extend full cooperation to the federal government in tackling the menace of terrorism.
“No such attack has ever happened anywhere in the world on a school. If there is any enmity, why should one target children. The entire nation should decide how to deal with this situation,” he added.
Earlier Tuesday, PTI Punjab President Ejaz Chaudhry had sent a recommendation to Khan, requesting for protests’ postponement.
PTI’s protest call was aimed at paralysing the entire country to put pressure on the ruling Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) government to carry out investigations for alleged rigging in last year’s general elections.
