The official response of the provincial ruling party, the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI), to which Mr Gandapur belonged, and the Pakistain Mohammedan League-Nawaz (PML-N), which rules at the Centre, was nothing more than muffled bleating. Forget an unequivocal condemnation of the act and its perpetrators, if not a befitting response to such an atrocity, the federal interior minister 'expressed sorrow' and the provincial government begged the faceless myrmidons to stop killing on humanitarian grounds!
