Talking to journalists after visiting the site, the Federal Minister said perpetrators involved in such inhuman crimes were not humans.
Shedding the blood of innocent people, he said was in fact a display of rivalry with humanity and peace.
Sardar Yousuf maintained that people associated with Tablighi Jamaat have no affiliation with any group and they just work for the betterment of the humanity adding that killing such precious people was tantamount to enmity with Islam.
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.
