ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said that all the culprits of May 9 mayhem would be brought to justice.
Talking to media in Islamabad on Saturday, he said that we all would celebrate once the culprits of May 9 met their fate.
The minister said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has always resolved the people’s problems. He highlighted a significant reduction in inflation and an increase in Pakistan’s exports as evidence of the government's progress.
Referring to the May 9 incidents, Tarar noted that 25 individuals involved in attacks on military installations were convicted. He remarked that such acts, including the desecration of martyrs, were unprecedented in the country's history.

Criticising the PTI chairman, he claimed that the culture of violence in politics was introduced under his leadership, emphasising that political differences should remain within the bounds of civility.
The minister also accused certain elements of undermining the country’s foundations by engaging in corruption and discouraging international lenders like the IMF from supporting Pakistan. He credited the efforts of the army chief for ensuring the country’s economic stability.
Calling May 9 a tragic day, Tarar stated that justice was being served, with the mastermind and all other perpetrators of the events being held accountable. “Today is a significant day for Pakistan,” he said, adding that the people were awaiting justice for the events of May 9.
He further alleged that the attack on the Corps Commander’s house strengthened the enemy’s hand.
