In a statement released from Central Secretariat of PTI in Islamabad, Imran Khan said that the attack reflected a continuation of the US belligerence in stark violation of the Joint Parliamentary Resolution and the unanimous All Parties Resolution that were adopted sometime ago.It also reflected the criminal duplicity of the Government of Pakistan that had failed in bringing an end to these inhuman attacks that have killed scores of innocent civilians including women and children.It was also further proof of the government’s complicity in facilitating these attacks, which were a serious infringement on Pakistan’s security and sovereignty.He also said that the government, having lost its moral authority, had no rationale to continue.Imran Khan reiterated his firm conviction that, once voted into power, he would undertake immediate steps to put an end to these inhuman attacks.He said that for him there was nothing more important than restoring Pakistan’s sovereignty and safeguarding its security interests.He called upon the people to demonstrate their feelings over these attacks and mount pressure on the government to change course.
