LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday that Pakistan has witnessed a significant decrease in the number of terrorism incidents in the country.
He made these comments while addressing the media in Lahore after visiting Kidney and Liver Transplant Institute.
Sharif, in his remarks, also said that Pakistan has given immense sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
The Punjab chief minister added that Pakistan does not need United States of America (US) aid and can utilise its own resources in the war against terrorism.
According to reports, the Punjab government has also prepared its strategy to deal with the protests announced by Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) over the Model Town tragedy.
The government will not intervene if the protest remains peaceful but it will spring into action if state assets are destroyed.
PAT chief Dr Tahirul-Qadri on Monday announced a countrywide protest movement against the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz government which will commence from January 17, after the PAT-led All Parties Conference deadline seeking the resignation of Shehbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah expired on January 7.
