ISLAMABAD, Sept 22: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the suicides attacks on the church in Peshawar and expressed deep sorrow and shock over the loss of precious human lives.

He said terrorists had no religion and that targeting innocent people was against the teachings of Islam.

Such cruel acts of terrorism reflected the brutality and inhumane mindset of the terrorists, he added.

The prime minister expressed solidarity with the Christian community and sympathised with the bereaved families and prayed for the early recovery of those injured in the blasts.---APP

“Unfortunately, because of this, the government is unable to move forward on what it had envisaged, on what it had wished for.”
