PTI Backs Demand for Army Deployment in Quetta

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan has endorsed the call for army deployment in Quetta. He is of view that Quetta is passing through worst law and order situation and 1973 constitution allows Governments to call army under such law and order conditions. Quetta has witnessed worst terrorism in past two months and series of explosions has martyred at least 190 people from minority Hazara Community.

In latest of terror related incident a water tanker loaded with at least 800 kg of explosives was remotely detonated to create a doomsday like situation in the city. Once again target was Hazara community and at least 90 people lost their lives as result of such powerful explosion. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi accepted responsibility for this inhumane attack.

Mourning Hazara families has once again refused to bury their victims unless city is handed over to army with full control over administration. Sit-ins and protests are reported from all over country as a token of solidarity with Hazaras.

Speaking to a press conference PTI chairman said that such acts of terrorism has nothing to do with Islam and government should deal with such elements with an iron hand. He also demanded that Federal Government should announce compensation for families of martyrs and injured.
