Implementation of NAP only solution: Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar

Islamabad: PPP Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar slammed PTI government for mishandling the issue of TLP protests. Expressing hus concern over the clashes between the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) with law-enforcement personnel, he said, “10 security personnel were martyred in a day.

“Two soldiers of Pakistan army, four policemen in KP were martyred fighting militants. Four policemen in Punjab were martyred by TLP protesters,” he said.

“How long will the police and army continue to pay the price for the unwise policies of Islamabad and Rawalpindi,” he added.

The Senator said the solution to resolve our problems lies in the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP). “The misuse of religion and extremist groups for political purposes will always have a severe fallout.”

Khokhar asked that when will our state institutions and political parties realise the consequences of misuse of religion and extremist groups.

Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said, “On this occasion, there is no need for Rangers to be deployed if we remain united and stand with the Punjab Police.

The Punjab Police has full capability and the will to deal with the militants and control them. I stand with Punjab Police, our soldiers and officers at this difficult time and hope they handle this crisis safely.”
