Condemnation of the Home Minister

Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed in a tweet on a social networking site strongly condemned the incident of firing on a FC vehicle in Balochistan and offered condolences to the family of Shaheed Naik Sharif.

ایف سی گاڑی پر فائرنگ ایک انتہائی بزدلانہ کاروائی ہے۔

دہشت گردی کی بزدلانہ کاروائیاں ہماری فورسز کے حوصلے پست نہیں کرسکتیں۔
