A federal cabinet meeting was underway on Tuesday to review and ratify the national internal security policy in Islamabad, a private news channel reported.
The meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, was reported to involve ministers in a consultation over the policy of internal defence and negotiations with the militant Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar will table the five-year National Internal Security Policy before the cabinet for approval.
