Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari expressed sorrow over the martyrdom of Haroon Bilour. He said it was becoming clear as to who terrorists wanted out of the election race. "The terror attack on pro-democracy individuals is a conspiracy," Bilawal said, adding that they shared in the grief of the Bilour family. "The nation should be aware of the fact as to what do terrorists wish." Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chief Mustafa Kamal said those, who had their hands coloured with the blood of innocents, did not deserve to be considered as humans.He called the authorities for bringing the perpetrators of Peshawar blast to justice. On the other hand, ANP leader Mian Iftikhar Hussain said the government had failed to provide security to the party. "Perhaps someone wishes to sabotage the elections … wants to push ANP out of the electoral race," he said. However, the "ANP will fully participate in the elections", he added.
