Federal Minister for Interior Ahsan Iqbal has said that all important steps were being taken to activate National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) and monitoring educational institutions.
“The task had been given to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for strengthening the Cyber Crime Wing,” he said while talking to a private news channel. He added, “We are holding a conference in which all the vice chancellors of the universities would be invited.”
“Some elements were trying to misguide the young educated people, which would be discouraged with the help of teachers, parents, and other segments of society,” he said, adding that an awareness campaign, to promote tolerance and flush out extremism, would be launched to achieve the objectives.
Answering a question, he said that Pakistan had achieved success in war against terrorism. The minister said that the world had acknowledged the sacrifices of Pakistan rendered in rooting out the menace of terrorism.
To another question, Iqbal said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had steered the country out of economic crisis. “In the present situation, there was need to strengthen political and democratic system of the country,” he said.
