Zulfiqar Mirza Urges Pakistani to Be on Guard
KARACHI, Pakistan News: Sindh Home Minister Zulfiqar Mirza said it is incumbent on every Pakistani to keep t heir eyes and ears open and help the law-enforcers to capture the saboteurs.
Talking to media, he said the miscreants, having failed to enter the main procession area, exploded the bus and anticipated that the injured would be taken to nearby hospital so they planted bombs there as well.
It is not possible that every car and a motorbike could be scanned, as thousands vehicles ply on Karachi roads, he said.
Holding the yesterday’s mishap as a tragedy, he requested the people of Karachi to stay peaceful and offer the law enforcers time to investigate into the yesterday’s mishaps.
The home minister defended the performance of sniffer dog, saying that the explosives were packed in a sealed container, due to which the sniffer dog could not detect it properly.
Mirza said Pakistan is at war against terrorism, vowing the government will continue this war until its logical end.
‘The investigations do take time, and I cannot say anything about the evidences for the moment on security reasons,’ he said.
It is premature to declare a foreign hand behind the yesterday’s twin bombings, he added.
