ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday strongly condemned the incident on Srinagar Highway, where Rangers and police personnel were reportedly mowed down by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers.
Expressing their deep grief over the martyrdom of Rangers personnel in the incident, they prayed for the elevation of the martyrs’ ranks in the hereafter and strength for the bereaved families to bear the loss.
The prime minister, in his statement, directed the authorities concerned to identify the perpetrators and take them to task and extend the best possible medical treatment to the injured security personnel.
“Attacking the police and Rangers in the name of so-called peaceful protests is condemnable,” the premier mentioned.
The “anarchist group”, he said, is deliberately targeting the law enforcement agencies who are deployed to maintain peace in the city.
They have destroyed the lives of the families of the martyred security personnel, the prime minister said.
