ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said that the miscreants involved in torturing police and citizens will be taken to the task.
On a social media website Twitter, Fawad Chaudhry said, “Difference of opinion is welcomed in democracy, but nobody will be allowed to blackmail the government on gunpoint.”
“Police and security agencies are our pride and people clad in uniform are considered a symbol of pride of a state in the entire world, Chaudhry added.
پولیس اور سیکورٹی ادارے ہمارا فخر ہیں ، پوری دنیا میں وردی پہنے افراد ریاست کی عزت اور بقاء کی علامت سمجھے جاتے ہیں ان کی عزت اورناموس کا تحفظ ہر شہری پر ایسے ہی لازم ہے جیسے ریاست سے وفاداری کا اصول جن لوگوں نے یہ اصول پامال کیا وہ قومی مجرم ہیں اور ان سے وہی سلوک ہونا چاہئے
