Pakistan: PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari links Peshawar terror attack to non-implementation of NAP
Peshawar, Pakistan: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari condemned the Peshawar blast and even blamed the government for not implementing the National Action Plan (NAP) to check terrorism in the country.
He even accused Prime Minister Imran Khan government of failing to establish the writ of state by surrendering before terrorists.
Addressing the participants of the party’s long march at Chichawatni’s Rai Chowk in Sahiwal district, he was quoted as saying by The Dawn that the incidence of terrorism had increased in the country as the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government lacked the capacity to face the menace.
“Why the blood of the masses is cheap and terrorists are roaming free in the country, while no action was being taken against them,” the PPP chairman asked the government.
The death toll due to the blast at a mosque in Pakistan's Peshawar city has now touched 62, media reports said on Saturday.
The death toll spiked after five more injured people died.
On Friday, 57 people, including a policeman, lost their lives and 194 others were injured when a suicide attacker detonated himself inside the mosque located in Peshawar's old city neighbourhood, Dawn News reported.
