| Punjab must take action against militants: KP |
| 2010-07-05 |
| Following the suicide attacks on Data Darbar, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has once again stressed that military action against terrorists in Punjab is vital. KP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain told reporters on Saturday that terrorists in Punjab were carrying out attacks against various sects. "Terrorists are neither Pathan nor Punjabi. However, terrorist centers and their mentors are present in Punjab," the KP information minister said. Hussain urged the Punjab government to be more focused on terrorism, as terrorists were now trying to trigger sectarian violence by starting activities in the name of Brelvi and Deobandi sects. "The KP government has time and again informed the Punjab government regarding the danger of terrorism," he said. "The Punjab chief minister is willing to curb terrorism in the province," Mian Iftikhar said, adding that terrorism should be eliminated through joint efforts. The KP government has time and again demanded a decisive military action against terrorists, which it believes, are hiding in Punjab. |
