State minister lashes out at PTI
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry has hit out at the PTI for holding the Pakistan Army responsible for the incident, saying it is shameful and unacceptable.
In a tweet, he has said this amounts to a propaganda against those security forces’ personnel who are giving a tough time to the terrorists. “This is not politics. It is an all-out war against those who are laying down their lives in the defence of the country.”.
