Reflecting on the incident, Kakar noted that despite the enemy’s attempt to undermine the nation’s morale in the war against terrorism, the people stood firm.
Nine years ago, the tragic events at APS brought the world to tears, but the Prime Minister acknowledged that the nation’s determination had only grown stronger.

Expressing pride in the nation’s martyrs and their families, Kakar acknowledged the collective strength that has emerged from the painful memory of the APS tragedy. He affirmed the nation’s unity against the menace of terrorism and reiterated support for security forces until justice is served against all miscreants.
The Prime Minister paid tribute to the security forces, including the police, rangers, and Pak Army, for their relentless efforts in hunting down terrorists and bringing them to justice. In a clear message to terrorists and enemies of Pakistan’s peace, Kakar emphasized the unwavering unity of the Pakistani nation.
