Peshawar: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur on Sunday paid tribute to the martyrs of the police force and vowed to continue the fight against terrorism until the last terrorist is eliminated.
Speaking at a ceremony in Peshawar to honor police martyrs, Gandapur emphasized the government’s commitment to support the police regardless of financial constraints.
Addressing the participants, who included families of martyrs, police veterans and officers, Gandapur saluted their sacrifices and reaffirmed the provincial government’s commitment to maintaining peace and security.
“We are facing internal and external conspiracies,” he said. “Whether we have money or not, our priority will be to provide resources to the police. Those who have given their lives in the line of duty deserve our utmost respect.”
Gandapur criticized the terror attacks as an act of ignorance, not jihad, and called on the militants to reform. He emphasized that a peaceful and prosperous environment is essential for the success of the province.
The CM announced several initiatives to support families of fallen policemen, including allotment of plots in provincial housing societies and 20 per cent traffic fines.
In a heartfelt message, Gandapur urged citizens not to interact with the police over minor issues and expressed pride in the forces defending the country’s borders. “We stand with the martyrs and are proud of the forces that protect our homeland,” he concluded.
