Shehbaz vows no compromise on terrorism after 10 policemen martyred in Kohat

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has vowed that there will be no compromise on eliminating terrorism and maintaining law and order after 10 police personnel, including Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Haider Zaman, were martyred in a terrorist attack in Kohat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, Shehbaz strongly condemned the attack in Dara Bakakh and paid tribute to the police personnel who lost their lives while fighting the attackers.

He said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police had set an example of courage and dedication through their sacrifices, describing the fallen personnel as heroes who gave their lives for the country’s peace and security.

The prime minister also extended condolences to the families of the martyrs and prayed for strength for them to bear the loss.

Referring to the retaliatory operation, Shehbaz said the killing of 18 Kharij (terrorists) demonstrated the professional capabilities and resolve of the provincial police in fighting terrorism.

He said the alleged nexus between criminal elements and Fitna-ul-Khawarij was an attempt to create unrest in the country, but the state would not allow such groups to succeed.

Shehbaz said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police had made significant sacrifices in the fight against terrorism and reiterated that the government would remain committed to eliminating the threat and safeguarding Pakistan’s peace and stability.
