LAHORE – Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that the possibility of Indian hand in terror attacks in the country cannot be ruled out.
“There is solid evidence to suggest that India is behind acts of terrorism in the country,” Sana told a press a conference on Friday.
The law minister said the recent incidents of terrorism in the Punjab were a result of the restoration of Nato supplies, which his party opposed for not being in accordance with the contents and spirit of the parliamentary resolutions.
Talking about the Thursday’s event, the minister expressed sorrow over the incident and committed to bring the culprits to the law and award them exemplary punishment. “The national academy operates under the Interior Minister, thus the responsibility to ensure security of its under training personnel lies with it,” Sana maintained.
 The academy’s director general never informed the Punjab government about the presence of under training prison staff or asked for their security, Sana held. He, however, said efforts were on for better coordination between provincial and federal agencies. He added a joint investigation team had started collecting evidence that would be sent to forensic lab for examination.  
The provincial law minister assured the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government that no stone would be left unturned to know the truth behind the incident. Replying to a question about the future of Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, he said the decision on the prime minister would be taken according to the law and he might meet the same fate as his predecessor, if he did not comply with the court’s orders.
