President Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) Muhammad Saeed Sheikh has expressed deep sense of sorrow and grief over the Lahore carnage where senior police officers were martyred along with many civilians.

He said that government of Pakistan is striving hard to overcome the menace of terrorism and extremism for the last many years in collaboration with armed forces, police and other law enforcing agencies. Hundreds of "Jawans" had sacrificed their lives and because of their truthfulness to their duties the situation had returned back to normal. He specially mentioned the "Zarb e Azab" and Karachi operation which helped in the restoration of normalcy in Pakistan and particularly in Karachi.
He said, "Peace prevailed throughout the country during the last 10 months but suddenly terrorists mauled the heart of Pakistan, Lahore."

He said that the people of Pakistan are fully determined to stand behind the Pakistan army and law enforces agencies so that they could boldly face the terrorist and sabotage their nefarious designs.
