The special session was followed by the National Security Committee meeting which resolved to launch a comprehensive operation to eliminate terrorists from across the country.
The same meeting noted that resurrection of terrorism in the country was due to wrong policies pursued by the previous government in case of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
In today’s session, some media reports cited Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir as saying that negotiations with militants in the past helped terrorists regroup in the country.
“Alhamdulillah, there is no no-go area in Pakistan at this time. A large number of martyrs laid down their lives for this success. They shed their blood for the country,” he noted
The COAS said terrorists had no other option but to accept the state’s writ and noted that they regrouped due to the state’s willingness to negotiate with them.
