No IG KP, The Madrassah Blast In Peshawar Was Not A Chota Mota Waqya

KP police IG Sanaullah Abbasi while addressing the media on Wednesday termed the Peshawar blast incident, “minor.”

He said, “The security threat was big, but the police succeeded in neutralising most anticipated acts of terror. Such small incidents happen but they shouldn’t.”

If only for the optics, how hard is it to show some remorse, a little compassion?

IG KP should not have asserted about the deadly blast in Peshawar. He could have uttered some comforting remarks.

Such insensitive statements coming from high profile officials should be an eye opener for the government and the absolute least they can do is to train them on such values as empathetic and respect for victims and survivors of violence.
