Islamabad (IINA) – Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday said the government would not allow terrorists to resurface and play with the lives of people, Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.
“This is my resolve, my government’s resolve, as well as the resolve of 200 million people. Insha Allah, no terrorist can breach the wall of our determination,” he said in a televised address to the nation.
The prime minister said he was addressing the nation at a time when the heart of every Pakistani was broken and the whole nation was in the state of grief and sorrow due to the tragic terrorist attack at a park in Lahore on Sunday.
“I know well what the message the terrorists want to give by hitting soft targets. I know that after losing their sanctuaries, training camps and infrastructure, why some remnants are heading towards educational institutions, recreational points and public places to hide their failure and despondence,” he noted.
“I am here to renew this pledge that we are keeping count of every drop of blood of our martyrs; this account is being settled; and we will not rest till it is paid,” the prime minister stressed.
Sunday’s terrorist suicide bombing at a crowded park in the eastern city of Lahore, claimed the lives of at least 72 people, including about 30 children, and wounded 300 others.
