Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has condemned the brutal murder of Peshawar SP Tahir Dawar whose body was recovered from Afghanistan.
“It is shocking that one of our top police officials is kidnapped from Islamabad, and shifted to Afghanistan without being noticed,” Bilawal said in a statement on Thursday. He questioned why the government had not put security on high alert as soon as the news of SP Dawar’s kidnapping was confirmed.
“The way this government has dealt with the entire matter is unconvincing and a lot remains to be answered.”
The PPP chairman said that the PTI government must raise this issue at the highest level with its Afghan counterparts. The PPP chairman said that instead of blaming the Safe-City Project and CCTV cameras, the government must find out exactly why Dawar’s kidnapping was not made into a top priority.
Bilawal offered his condolences to Dawar’s bereaved family and prayed for the departed soul. “These surely are testing times for the family and the whole nation shares in their grief,” he said.
