Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Senator Sirajul Haq has sought explanation from the government and security agencies over sudden increase in incidents of terrorism across the country. Talking to media persons after visiting Madressah Zubairia Peshawar on Wednesday, he said, “Terrorists attacked in the heart of the city on Tuesday morning. How they reached there and disappeared after completing their mission despite presence of numbers of check posts and personals of intelligence and security agencies in every nook and corner of Peshawar.”
Eight students lost their lives and 110 sustained injuries in the attack on the madressah on Tuesday. Senator Siraj along with JI KP Emir Senator Mushtaq Ahmad and other leaders offered prayer for the martyrs and quick recovery of the injured. As the prime minister announced inquiry to the incident, Senator Siraj said the JI would hold a protest demonstration to express solidarity with the families of the victims and seek justice for them. He also pointed out the government laxity in the implementation of the National Action Plan.
