The Prime Minister expressed deep sorrow and grief over the loss of precious lives. He said the militants have no regard for human life or religion and they are pursuing their own nefarious agenda.

Prime Minister Gilani reiterating the government's resolve to fight against militancy said such cowardly acts could not undermine the war against these elements.

He said morale of the masses was high which was providing impetus to the government's efforts to eliminate militancy and extremism from the country.

He condoled with the families of deceased and ordered the concerned authorities to look into the matter and furnish report at the earliest.

He also ordered to provide best medical facilities to the injured.
