The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz PML (N) government has decided in principle to re-establish the National Security Council (NSC). The prime minister will be head of the council.
According to government sources, the National Security Council is the only forum for communication between civil and military leadership.
The government is trying to re-establish the council after consultation with the military leadership. Earlier, the National Security Council was established during Pervez Musharraf’S tenure which was scrapped through 18th Amendment.
