PESHAWAR - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Information, Mian Iftikhar Hussain has directed the DCO Nowshera to prepare the estimate for repair and renovation of mausoleum of Kaka Sahib (RA) so as to start practical work on it at the earliest.
He issued these directives while inspecting the site of bomb blast at the shrine of Kaka Sahib Nowshera on Wednesday. DCO and DPO Nowshera were also present on this occasion.
Strongly condemning the terrorist act in the shrine, the minister said that those targeting mosques, spiritual places, funerals and bazaars did not deserve to be called Muslims or human beings, rather they were beasts. He added that the terrorists did not for the first time targeted a mausoleum but they also targeted the tombs of spiritual personalities like Abdur Rahman Baba (RA), Pir Baba (RA), Akhoon Panjo Baba (RA), Hamza Baba, Mian Umar Baba (RA) and Ajmal Khattak Baba.
Mian Iftikhar continued to say that the real faces of terrorists were unveiled by such brutal acts so the whole nation stood up against them. He added that the terrorists were merely terrorists, and they had nothing to do with religion, beliefs, castes or languages, but they were the anti-state elements who wanted to destabilise the country. Such brutal acts in the spiritual and religious places and bazaars have deeply shocked the feelings of the whole nation, and today the terrorists were isolated in the society and every one hate them, he concluded.
