Zardari condemns killing of Christian couple

ISLAMABAD: Co-Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and former president Asif Ali Zardari has expressed profound grief and shock and condemned as sheer barbarism the killing of Christian couple in Kot Radha Kishan in Kasur.

The sheer barbarity of burning to death of a young couple along with their yet to be born child will continue to haunt thoughtful people even in a distant age and clime, the former President said in a statement on Thursday.

“Mere condemnation and expression of grief and sorrow over the incident is not enough. We must move on and take practical measures to ensure that religion was not employed to shrink the space for citizens particularly the minorities,” he said. (PPI)
