Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Wednesday vehemently condemned the bomb attack on the police vehicle deployed to protect the polio team in Baleli, a suburb of Quetta, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
He ordered immediate investigation into the incident and also directed to provide the best medical facilities to the injured.
The prime minister also expressed grief over the martyrdom of a policeman and eight-month-old child in the incident.
He paid glowing tributes to the policemen who, what he said, were performing duties without caring about their lives to eliminate polio from the country.
“The extremist elements will always fail to stop the campaign to eradicate polio from the country. The Pakistani people, law-enforcement agencies and polio officials will never allow these malicious efforts to succeed,” he stated.
“The complete elimination of polio from the country is among the top priorities of the government. The government will not sit idle until the eradication of polio from the country,” he vowed.
“All the sympathies of the entire nation, including me, are with the families of the martyrs. We pray for the speedy recovery of those injured in the incident,” he prayed.
