Nawaz Sharif has assured that legal action would be taken against those responsible for the Lahore tragedy incident after Lahore High Court's tribunal findings.

Sharif said in a statement that tribunal under a high court judge has already been set up to determine those responsible for the incident, Dawn.com reported.

The Pakistani PM said that no one would be allowed to put the internal security and peace of the country at stake and those responsible for the loss of s lives could not escape punishment.

He added that no one could disrupt the law and order situation of the country, as it is fighting two wars, including fighting the menace of terrorism and putting the collapsed economy back on track.

Seven people, including members of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) were among those killed during a clash between PAT protesters and policemen in Lahore recently.
