Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Wednesday, expressed his deep grief and condolences with the bereaved families of shuhada who lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Tarlai Imambargah last week.
The prime minister offered Fateha and prayed for the high ranks of those who lost their lives in the incident and for the early recovery of the injured.
The prime minister said that there could be no compensation for the precious lives lost in the terrorist incident and announced a sum of Rs 10 million for Shaheed Oun Abbas who resisted the suicide attacker, Rs 5 million for each martyred, Rs 3 million for each severely injured and Rs 1 million for others with minor injuries.
During a visit to Imambargah Khadijatul Kubra in Tarlai Kalan where a terrorist suicide attack occurred last Friday, resulting in the loss of precious human lives, the prime minister met with the members of the bereaved families and those injured in the incident.
Talking to the affected families, he said the entire nation was in a state of grief and saddened over the tragic incident which resulted in the martyrdom of elders, kids and young while scores of others were injured.
Terming it the ‘worst barbaric act’ he said the more they condemned it, the less it would be.
He said that all religious leaders and ulema had strongly condemned it with unity and praised them for foiling the nefarious designs of the enemies.
Shaheed Oun Abbas who resisted the suicide attacker and sacrificed his life, would be remembered in golden words, he said, adding that such sacrifices in the fight against terrorism would not go in vain.
The prime minister observed that the abhorrent attempt to sow seeds of disunity in the society had failed miserably.
He also commended the armed forces, law enforcement agencies and police force that had been fighting the menace of terrorism and sending terrorists to hell in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces with unforgettable sacrifices.
He said the entire nation was indebted to their huge sacrifices and prayed for the elimination of terrorism from the country forever.
Later, the prime minister also visited the residence of Shaheed Oun Abbas to offer Fateha and condolences.
The federal ministers, police and district administration authorities also accompanied the prime minister and briefed him about the incident.
