Mr Riaz while speaking at the NA flloor said the incident should be condemned adding the causes of such attacks must be pondered upon. “The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government could not ensure the safety of Peshawar despite being given Rs414 billion in 10 years”, he added. Terrorists, he said, were categorized as good and bad, and termed friends and brothers, but the incident proved that this ideology was flawed, and giving refuge to Afghans in the country was also [a] wrong [decision].
