Imran condemned the attack on innocent worshippers in the church and said that the elements involved in this heinous crime are not humans. He said that it was the second major attack after Mina Bazar bomb blast where hundreds of people were killed. He said that the situation they are currently facing is the result of the nine-year dictatorship.
He added that those who did not bring peace in five years, then how are they criticizing the government. He said that today some elements were making politics the dead bodies of the victims and provoked people to defame the PTI government in the province.
