Attacks won't deter Balochistan's uplift
President General Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Saturday reiterated their resolve to bring Balochistan and other underdeveloped areas at par with the rest of the country. Both leaders strongly condemned the bomb blast in Quetta on Friday, saying that such cowardly acts would not deter the government's efforts for progress and development. "They stressed that the government would not be directed by such heinous acts, which are aimed at disturbing peace and harmony," a press release issued after a meeting between the president and the prime minister said. They directed the authorities concerned to step up their efforts to arrest the perpetrators of the blast and to ensure that they are punished. Posted by: Fred 2004-12-12 |
