ISLAMABAD: National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser on Tuesday sought a report from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government within a week over the gruesome killing of four women vocational trainers in a terrorist attack in North Waziristan’s tribal district on Monday.
Terming it a serious incident, the speaker said he would direct the provincial chief secretary to present him the report within a week after the matter was raised by MNA from the same area Mohsin Dawar, who also wanted to talk about it during the assembly session on Monday, but could not do so due to a noisy protest from the treasury and opposition benches.
