President Asif Ali Zardari called it a “suicide attack” by Fitna-al-Khawarij (TTP), alleging that India had an agenda. “The elements serving Fitna-al-Khawarij and India cannot undermine Pakistan’s stability,” he said, praising the security forces. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif commended the forces for eliminating “Fitna-al-Hindustan” terrorists, promising “exemplary punishment” for those threatening security.
