The Caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan, Anwar ul Haq Kakar, on Thursday has addressed the police darbar at the Governor’s House. During the address, PM Kakar, mentioned about the commitment of the state to combat the ongoing crime rate.
Noting to this, PM Kakar, said that, “The militants had decided to fight against the state, and therefore, the state had no choice but to fight that war with wisdom and courage.”
During the address, PM Kakar, said that, “This is the militant’s own choice to become suicide bomber and assassins, so they don’t deserve sympathy.”
PM Kakar, specifically mentioned that Pakistan never forgot the 2014 massacre of children at Peshawar’s Army Public School, so militants had lost the “sympathy they used to enjoy 20 years ago. The state will launch fight against all those people, who are having direct or indirect link with the militant ideology.”
He added that the militants thought they are doing a great job but they would run away from each other on the Day of Judgement.
PM further raised a question if the war against militancy had concluded with the martyrdom of the Frontier Constabulary commandant Safwat Ghayur in a suicide attack in 2010.
Noting to this, he said that, “Everyone remembered Ghayur but nobody remembers even a single of over 2,000 militants killed by the security forces in the nation.”
Kakar said that the state had empowered the police under the law to act against anyone that are part of the armed struggle and that the state and the society stood by the police.
He said that the militants carried out “behind the back attacks and could not fight face to face.”
Continuing further on this, PM Kakar said that, “Let it be known to everybody that the state will respond one thousand times to their [militants’] 10 attacks.”
