Pakistan
Says won’t allow a repeat of this dark episode
LAHORE (Dunya News/Web Desk) – The nation will neither forget nor forgive the May 9 violence, said Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz who added that it was necessary to bring the planners of hatching conspiracy against Pakistan to justice.
In a message issued on Thursday, Maryam described May 9 as a dark episode of Pakistan’s history and said those greedy of capturing power had executed a plan which even the country’s enemies couldn’t achieve.
She was referring to the attacks carried out by the PTI supporters on defence installations across the country. But this violence wasn’t limited to the military as police and other state properties – like the historic Radio Pakistan building in Peshawar – were also targeted.
