We were deeply sorrowful and filled with hatred after hearing the news of the tragic death of dozens of innocent people, including women, children and seriously injured hundreds of others as a result of a terrible explosion in the city of Lahore, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

We strongly condemn this brutal act of impure forces, emphasize our solidarity with regional and international efforts to strengthen the merciless struggle against terrorism and extremism.
