“Such acts could not weaken our resolve. We will never spare the enemies. There’s no doubt that it is an act of enemies of Pakistan.
“I was attending an event in Islamabad, when I heard the news of attack on Maulana Sami-ul-Haq. I immediately left to visit him all alone and, while on the way through Islamabad Expressway, two vehicles tried to pull over mine. I timely observed weapons in their hands. Since, I was travelling on jeep so I turned away on the other side of the road and they could not chase me for they had old cars,” he said while telling detailed account of the event to the media.
