Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan stated there are “No sacred cows” in Pakistan as he appeared in court in connection with a case relating to the 2014 Army Public School Massacre in Peshawar.
The Prime Minister was summoned by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed in a Suo-moto case relating to the 2014 Peshawar school Tragedy, in which TTP militants invaded the school and massacred over 140 persons, Predominantly school children, on December 16, 2014.
The parents of the children urged that the Country’s highest leadership be Nominated in the case and that a Transparent Investigation be undertaken into the Tragedy in a Petition to the Supreme Court.
Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was in power in the province at the time of the incident, and it had been seven years since the Catastrophe.
Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan stated that it is critical to satisfy the parents who have lost their children to such a Heinous act. He stated, “The parents demand that the time’s leadership be Prosecuted.”
The Supreme Court ruled that the Government should pay attention to the parents’ demands and take action against the perpetrators.
“Despite our clear orders, nothing was done,” the Chief Justice observed.
Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed, speaking to Prime Minister Imran Khan, stated: “You have brought the Culprits to the negotiating table. Are we once again about to sign a surrender document?”
He was referring to a Ceasefire Agreement reached by the Government with the banned TTP, the Terrorist group behind the Attack.
The Chief Justice then remarked that Pakistan’s agencies and Institutions have access to all sorts of information, but when it comes to the security of the people “Our security agencies fail.”
