Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday strongly condemned the suicide bombing outside the Islamabad District Courts, stating that Indian-sponsored terrorist networks were behind the attack.
In a statement, the prime minister said that Indian-sponsored proxies operating from Afghan soil were carrying out terrorist attacks in Pakistan, targeting innocent civilians.
“Such cowardly acts of terrorism by Fitna al-Khwarij (FAK) are reprehensible and will not shake the resolve of the Pakistani nation,” he said.
Shehbaz Sharif expressed deep grief and sorrow over the loss of lives and offered prayers for the departed souls. He also extended condolences to the families of the martyrs and directed authorities to ensure the best medical treatment for the injured.
The prime minister ordered a comprehensive investigation into the incident and vowed that those responsible would be brought to justice.
He further stated that terrorist groups Fitna al-Hindustan (FAH) and Fitna al-Khwarij (FAK) had carried out attacks in Wana and Islamabad, urging the international community to take notice and condemn such actions.
“We will not allow the blood of our innocent citizens to go in vain,” he said, adding that Pakistan would continue its campaign against terrorism until the last terrorist is eliminated.
