The Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday made a call for thorough investigation into the release of terrorists from the prisons during the PTI rule, regretting that such decisions were taken without taking the parliament and the country into loop.
While addressing the press conference along with the caretaker Interior Minister, Sarfaraz Bugti, the PPP Chairman, Bilawal Bhutto, expressed these views while talking to the reporters after visiting ‘The Wall of Martyrs’ at the Ministry of Interior and hanging the picture of slain former prime minister, Benazir Bhutto there.
He said that, “The martyrs of the country who have been a target of terrorism- our politicians, police, lawyers, judges and soldiers- have rendered great sacrifices. Result of which, peace was achieved in the land and terrorism was eradicated from the nation.”
Former Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Bhutto, in his statement, further added that, “Unfortunately, a decision was taken which undermined the efforts of our martyrs.”
It is to be hereby added that, he was of the opinion that when a transition of power was taking place in Afghanistan, a decision that was made without the input of the parliament or the people, allowed for engagement with the very terrorists who had been defeated by the army, police and the entire nation.
They were released from jails in Pakistan and the terrorists responsible for attacks on Pakistani territory from Afghanistan were also released then, he said, adding that they were invited by the then prime minister Imran Khan to resettle in huge numbers in the tribal areas of Pakistan from where they had been chased out.
