ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Thursday that Punjab police were close to arresting the culprits responsible for yesterday’s blast in Lahore’s Johar Town that claimed the lives of three citizens.
In a tweet, the minister said that officials had achieved “great success” during the investigation process. “Punjab police will soon arrest the suspects and give good news to the people,” he said.
In a video shared alongside the tweet, the interior minister said that Pakistan’s enemies could not tolerate the economic and political stability in the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan and had started adopting “terrorist routes”.
He said that elements that want to spread chaos in the country would fail as Pakistan “will never come under pressure”.
“We have completed 86 per cent of fencing work on the Afghanistan border and 46pc of the work on the border with Iran,” he said, adding that fencing of the Afghan border would be completed within the next one-and-a-half month. Fencing of the Iran border will be completed this year, he said.
