ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday strongly condemned bomb blasts at the Shrine of Hazrat Sakhi Sarwar in Dera Ghazi Khan resulting in deaths and injuries of innocent people.

In a statement, the prime minister said such cowardly acts of terror clearly demonstrate that the culprits involved neither have any faith nor any belief in human values.

"The killing of innocent and helpless human beings exhibits the mindset of coward and evil nature of the terrorists," he added.

The prime minister said such violent acts are a conspiracy to divide society and create fear. The nation, he said, is determined and united to fight this menace and eliminate it permanently.

Gilani directed the law enforcement agencies concerned to investigate the incident and apprehend the cowardly terrorists.

He also asked the officials concerned to take care of the injured. He expressed condolences with the affected families.
