Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir attended the funeral prayers of three Rangers personnel who were martyred amid ongoing PTI protests.
The funeral ceremony was held at Chaklala Garrison and attended by prominent political and military figures, including Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar, and other key officials.
Speaking at the solemn occasion, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the violence during the protests. “Pakistan cannot tolerate chaos and bloodshed in pursuit of political ambitions. Such acts of violence are deplorable and test the patience of law enforcement agencies. The nation honors the sacrifices of the martyred Rangers, police officers, and others injured during these riots,” he remarked.
The three martyred officers were identified as Naik Muhammad Ramzan Shaheed (47) from Karak, Sepoy Gulfam Khan Shaheed (29) from Rawalpindi, and Sepoy Shah Nawaz Shaheed (33) from Sibi.
Following the prayers, the bodies of the fallen soldiers were transported to their respective hometowns, where they will be buried with full military honors.
