ISLAMABAD: Paying tribute to policemen, Minister for Interior Ijaz Ahmad Shah here on Monday said that a Jawan (policeman) received bullet on his chest just because of his sheer passion, love and determination for his motherland.

Talking to journalists during his visit to police lines headquarters in Islamabad, Ijaz Ahmad Shah said that it was the command who took stand and initiative for any force.

He said that the police department and its leadership had to play role for the welfare of its martyrs’ families other than the government.

He said, “Police is the most vulnerable department whose demerits are criticized by everyone but their achievements in the good of the public go unsung.”

Responding to a question, the interior minister said that the current government was firm to make justice for its masses and it would be done at any cost.
