Former president and opposition Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman, Asif Ali Zardari, has said that the attack on Peshawar's Army Public School wouldn't have occurred had the then President Pervez Musharraf taken notice of the Karsaz 2007 bomb blast and initiated action against the terrorists at the time.
According to The Express Tribune, addressing the crowd on the seventh dead anniversary of the former prime minister, who was killed allegedly by militants in a bomb and gun attack in Rawalpindi, Zardari lamented Musharraf's indecisiveness for a military operation.
He said "had the 'billa' taken notice of the Karsaz 2007 bomb blast and started an operation against terrorists then, the Peshawar incident would not have occurred."
Zardari further said that while the establishment of military courts was necessary in view of the present situation, he added that the law was acceptable as long as it did not become a black law and was not used against political institutions.
