Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today vowed to root out the menace of terrorism from the country after more than 70 people were killed in the deadly Taliban suicide bombing in Lahore.
"I am here today to reiterate our national resolve to fight the menace of terrorism till it is rooted out from our society," said Sharif in his address to the nation.
He said Pakistan was conscious of the "every drop of blood of our victims" and those responsible for it will be taken to task.
Sharif said that his government will continue the great mission of transforming Pakistan into a cradle of peace, progress and prosperity.

At least 72 people, mostly women and children, were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up atthe crowded Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park of Allama Iqbal in Lahore where Christians were celebrating Easter.
Sharif said Islam is a religion of peace which had declared that murder of a single human being is like killing the entire mankind.
The Prime Minister said he has given clear instructions to concerned institutions to bring terrorists and their facilitators to book wherever they are.
