“We are taking steps to prevent such attacks in the future and know our neighbour is instigating this sectarian terrorism,” said PM Imran. He told the Hazara families that he shares their pain and reminded them that he had come to them earlier as well and stood by them during their “time of suffering”.

The prime minister assured them that he would visit them very soon to “offer prayers and condole with all the families personally”.

“I will never betray my people’s trust. Please bury your loved ones so their souls find peace,” said PM Imran.

The tweets by the premier came as the Hazara families continue their sit-in following the brutal killing of 11 coal miners in Machh.
