Islamabad: Aso Pakistan Parents, activists and politicians lashed out at Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday, the seventh anniversary of the terror attack on the Army Public School in the northwestern city of Peshawar. KHAN And his government offered olive branches to the terrorist group responsible for the massacre of more than 150 people, including 131 children.
Currently, Khan is seeking reconciliation with the government. Tehreek Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an umbrella organization of several terror groups, which had accepted responsibility for the attack on the school on December 16, 2014. The attack prompted Pakistan’s civilian and military leaders to act against terrorists based in unstable tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
The military strike against militants in the tribal area was part of a 20-point National Action Plan (NAP), a security plan announced by former PM Nawaz Sharif, which was considered by many to be a threat to Pakistan’s existence.
The military attack forced the terrorists to cross into Afghanistan, where they regrouped and began targeting Pakistan with deadly suicide bombings.
Following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in mid-August this year, Pakistan, through the Haqqani Network, an ally of the Afghan Taliban, began consultations with the TTP in the war-torn country. Last week, the group canceled a month-long ceasefire that it announced on November 9.
Since the TTP announced the end of the ceasefire, Islamabad has not yet confirmed whether its talks with the TTP are still on hold or halted.
“What right does the government have to negotiate with the TTP, while our children have been killed in the APS attack,” asked Mohammad Amin, the father of a slain child. Amin’s elder son Ishaq Amin was killed in the attack, while his younger son Amir Amin, who was seriously injured, is yet to recover from the shock and trauma he went through.
Shahana Khan asked, “Who are they to forgive the killers of our children?” His 15-year-old son Asmat was a victim of APS attack. “I have seen my son’s body riddled with bullets. They (PM Khan And his government) should be ashamed of offering amnesty to terrorists.”
In a message to mark the anniversary of the APS, PM Khan claimed that the country had “successfully defeated terrorism” and vowed to “never let down the survivors and parents” of those martyred in the tragic incident. Chasm.
Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif described it as a painful day for the country and asked: “Have we learned any lessons and corrected our course?”
Expressing concern over non-implementation of NAP, Pakistan Peoples Party President Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that December 16 will always be a painful day for the nation. “The country still feels the pain of this great tragedy. Everyone is still waiting for innocent souls to get justice,” he said.
