Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan will soon reveal significant details included in the National Action Plan on how the military will hunt down the financiers, abettors, facilitators and aides of terrorists, an Interior Ministry official said on Saturday.

The interior minister will update the nation about the steps being taken to hunt terrorists, as well as the possible expansion of the military operation in the country, he said.

He will also provide details of recommendations given by Army Chief General Raheel Sharif to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a meeting held at the military headquarters on Friday, the official added.

All major political parties will most likely give their input on the National Action Plan to the government today (Sunday) or tomorrow, after which the National Action Plan Committee will discuss the recommendations, the official said.

Meanwhile, Awami Muslim League (AML) President Sheikh Rashid has protested against his exclusion by the government in a meeting of the National Action Plan Committee.

“My party is in the National Assembly, but the government did not include my name to the committee,” he said.

“I, as a member of the National Assembly, want to give input to this committee,” Rashid said, adding that Ijazul Haq of the Pakistan Muslim League-Zia – who only has one seat in parliament – was a part of the NAPC among others.

“I will lodge my protest with the speaker of the NA in the upcoming session,” he said.
