Acting Inspector General of Police Punjab Captain ® Mohammad Usman Khattak has said that subversive activities by the anti state elements and terrorists cannot undermine the morale and passion of the brave jawans of Punjab police.
He stated this while visiting the Lahore General Hospital here on Tuesday where he inquired after the health of those injured in a suicide bomb blast near the Arfa Kareem Tower on Ferozpur Road a day back. He also gave flowers to the admitted patients.
Acting IG said that the victims especially the police jawans of Kot Lakhpat Fruit Market catastrophe were the pride of the Punjab Police and beacon of light for the police force.
He said that elements involved in ghastly incidents of terrorism would be exposed and taken to task. He said that the Punjab police had played a leading role in ending terrorism and the force would not hesitate to shed the last drop of their blood to nip the anti state actors and criminals in the bud.
Usman Khttak said that the terrorists had directly targeted the cops twice in Lahore during the current year. Such cowardly acts could not undermine the morale of the Punjab Police but the sacrifices by the force members had given new fervor and zeal to the whole force, IG maintained.
He said that the deployment of additional force at the blast site right after the incident had proved that cowardly acts by the terrorists could not refrain them from protecting the lives and property of citizens.
He said that combing operations were being carried out in Lahore and all other districts of Punjab to round up the facilitators.
