Humayun condemns Mardan Gurdwara firing Incident; perpetrators must be brought to Justice

ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jun, 2026) Central Secretary General of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Muhammad Humayun Khan, on Thursday, strongly condemned the tragic firing incident at a Gurdwara in Mardan, saying that entering a place of worship and targeting innocent citizens is an extremely regrettable, cowardly, and intolerable act.

In a statement, Humayun Khan said that targeting the minority community through acts of terrorism is a conspiracy against Pakistan’s peace, tolerance and national unity.

He said that Sikhs, Hindus, Christians and all other minority communities are an integral part of Pakistan and the protection of their lives and property is the state’s foremost responsibility.

Humayun Khan said that those who violate the sanctity of places of worship do not deserve any leniency. Such elements must be immediately brought before the law and given exemplary punishment to prevent such incidents in the future.

He demanded an immediate, transparent, and scientific investigation into the Mardan Gurdwara firing incident.

Humayun Khan called for exposing all those involved and taking strict legal action against them.

He said that terrorist elements seek to harm Pakistan’s peace, brotherhood and national unity, but their nefarious designs will never succeed.

The Pashtun society has always been known for its traditions of peace, love, tolerance and harmony, and such elements are, in fact, enemies of Pakistan, he added.

He emphasized that the state must ensure effective measures for the protection of all citizens, especially minority communities, so that every Pakistani can practice their religious beliefs and live their lives without fear.

Humayun Khan expressed heartfelt sympathy and solidarity with the affected families, saying that PPP stands with them in their grief and demands immediate and strict action against those responsible for this tragic incident.
