Shehbaz, Maryam strongly condemn target killing of Christian faith leader William Siraj in Peshawar

LAHORE, Jan 31 (SABAH): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has strongly condemned target killing of Christian faith leader William Siraj in Peshawar.

In a statement issued on twitter on Monday Shehbaz Sharif said that there is absolutely no place for such horrific acts in Quaid’s Pakistan. He said that the killer must immediately be arrested and meted out punishment. My sympathies are with bereaved family and Christian community, he said.

“Strongly condemn target killing of Christian faith leader William Siraj in Peshawar.There is absolutely no place for such horrific acts in Quaid’s Pakistan.The killer must immediately be arrested & meted out punishment. My sympathies are with bereaved family & Christian community” Shehbaz Sharif tweeted.

Meanwhile PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif has said that broad day light killing of Christian pastor in KPK is extremely painful and alarming. She said that Pakistan was created with the promise of equal rights for all citizens especially minorities. Where are those rights? Is there anything that’s functioning correctly under this regime?

In another tweet Maryam Nawaz said that if she had a shred of hope in this insensitive and stony-hearted regime, she would tell them to not only visit the families of the victims in Peshawar, but to console the Christian community and stand with them at a time when they need it the most.
