We must show everyone that we are united against terrorism: Information Minister Pervaiz Raheed

Speaking at the National Assembly, Pervaiz Rasheed said a strong message should be conveyed to terrorists and extremists that they could not impact Pakistan with such attacks. He urged the nation to carry on with their routine activities and not let such attacks get to them.

“Airplanes should keep flying, trains should be on-schedule, offices and schools should remain open,” he said. “Similarly, the Parliament should also stick to doing its job and also condemn this terrorist attack.”
