Islamabad: Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira urged the nation on Saturday to stand against terrorism in the wake of the death of Awami National Party (ANP) leader Bashir Bilour.
While speaking to a local TV channel, he said, “This war on terror would be won with the help of people belonging to all segment of society including media.”
He said the government is taking all measures and utilising all available resources to flush out the menace of terrorism.
He grieved Bashir’s death, saying, “It was very tragic and unfortunate incident.”
Kaira said the senior minister of Khyber Pakhtunkawa was a great politician and brave man.
