The federal minister further said that elements involved in such crimes were defaming the religion of peace and Muslims, but added that our resolve was unbreakable and as a nation we all were against such anti-Islam forces. He assured that all possible means would be utilized to cope with such elements. Islam, he said was the religion of peace and tranquillity which taught us that killing a human was equal to killing the whole humanity.
The minster was of the view that the nation was passing through a critical phase and in such circumstances we have to show patience and tolerance and stand shoulder to shoulder with the government for maintenance of peace.
The minister who was accompanied by Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Engineer Shaukat Ullah Khan thoroughly inspected site of the blast and assured all possible assistance on part of the government for rehabilitation of the Markaz.
