ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday made it clear that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had expressed his passionate commitment to hunt and eliminate terrorists who were unable to reconcile with the path of growth Pakistan was treading.

Talking to the media outside the Parliament House, she strongly condemned the suicide attack at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan Sharif.

She said that terrorists’ cowardly attacks would not break the government’s resolve of making the country prosper.

“The terrorists have no religion. They are devoid of the light of faith,” she said, adding that such elements had subscribe to an ideology of hate, while their hearts had been filled with darkness.

The minister, remembering the brave martyrs of the country’s fearless armed forces, said those men and women of law enforcement agencies and innocent people through their courage had pushed back the terrorists over the last three years, and “they continue to be our strength and defence against the evils of terrorism”.

“Those who are under the false impression that they can create fear in the resilient and intrepid heart of this great nation through barbaric acts of indiscriminate violence will be impaled on the canvass of history,” she concluded.
