SUKKUR: Senior leader of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Syed Khursheed Shah, on Sunday termed the Sahiwal shooting incident as ‘terrorism.
He demanded PM Khan to tender apology over what happened in Sahiwal. He claimed that the government seemed powerless in taking steps against Sahiwal incident.
While addressing media persons in Sukkur, Shah said that Sahiwal incident was terrorism and responsible persons should not be given pardon in any case.
The PPP leader expressed disappointment over comments of few legislators, saying that he felt sorrow over statements of federal and provincial minister. He demanded Prime Minister Imran Khan to summon resignations of the ministers calling the slain persons as terrorists in Sahiwal incident.
Earlier on Saturday, four persons were shot dead including two women during an alleged action by CTD of Punjab Police that went controversial when a wounded child gave statement before the media, saying they were moving to Burewala for attending a wedding ceremony.
However, CTD in its report submitted to Inspector General (IG) Punjab Police insisted that the law enforcers’ team attempted to stop ‘terrorists travelling through motorcycle and car’ at around 12:00 noon but they opened fire on the personnel avoiding the call to surrender before security officials.
However, the development reports spread like wildfire that draw heavy criticism by nationals across the country against the police action.
