He tweeted that he had just visited the injured in Ganga Ram hospital and had been deeply touched by the high spirits of the inju
red civilians, police officers and jaw
ans.
“Heart bleeds at the loss of precious lives including those of my team members Ahmad Mobin and Zahid Gondal martyred in the line of duty,” he added.

Pakistan, adding that they did no

Pakistan stood united in the fight to uproot terrorism
.
“Pakistanis pay homage to their police officers and jawans and my heart goes out to bereaved families,” Shahbaz said.
