QUETTA: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar said on Tuesday that terrorism is a conspiracy to weaken Pakistan and disrupt its peace.
“If we let this conspiracy be successful, we won’t be able to give anything to our future generations,” Justice Nisar said while addressing a condolence reference in Quetta marking a year from the deadly Civil Hospital bombing where more than 70 lawyers were killed.
He said the Quetta blast wasn’t an isolated event, and similar incidents happened in Peshawar and Lahore.
“This war has to be fought, and with patience and strength,” the CJP said. “The entire, institutions, law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies, and even the judiciary has to fight the war and make contributions.”
Mentioning a child who lost her father in the incident, Justice Nisar said as the Chief Justice of the country he felt ashamed to explain to her why ‘the system and country were unable to protect her father.’
Speaking at the event, he said his colleagues who lost their lives in the incident can never be forgotten. The chief justice also touched upon security issues faced by judges and lawyers.
