Prime Minister Imran Khan has stated that the assassination of a Muslim family in Canada has “shocked” every person in Pakistan.
While talking with a Canadian media channel, the prime minister asked the world leaders to launch a restriction on online hate and radicalism after the lethal attack in which four persons of a Pakistan-origin family were murdered.
The police are probing the episode as a terrorist attack which was driven by hate since they were Muslims.
“Everyone is shocked in [Pakistan], because we saw the family picture, and so a family being targeted like that has had a deep impact in Pakistan,” the premier said to the CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.
The whole interview will be available on Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, which appears on CBC News Network.
When requested to give remarks on online radicalisation, PM Imran said: “I think there should be a very strict action against this.”
“When there are these hate websites which create hatred amongst human beings, there should be an international action against them.”
“The world leaders, whenever they decide upon taking action, this will be dealt with,” he said.
“The problem is at the moment, there is not enough motivation and that some international leaders, or leaders in the Western countries, actually don’t understand this phenomenon.”
