Terming terrorism a national issue, the government has given the final shape to the counterterrorism strategy.

Sources said the strategy would be implemented as soon as the political leadership is taken on board.

They said the government was ready if PTI Chairman Imran Khan wanted to meet separately.

The final decision about the counterterrorism mechanism would be taken during the national consultative process. “Government has taken all the stakeholders into confidence with regard to this strategy,” the sources said, adding that the political leadership would be apprised of political and administrative measures in this connection. State-sponsored conference on this count will be announced after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif returns home.

The sources said all the political parties had shared the perception that terrorists were the enemies of the nation and country.

Information Minister Pervez Rashid had said the government’s writ and the constitution would not be compromised. “We will set… the prevailing situation on track… to normalisation and betterment. We have the commitment, the team and the strategy as well,” he had added.

  1. How much more bloodshed and terrorism and politicians silence ?.Militants have hijacked country and instead of government writ every where militants writ are seen in every part of country , militants can easily attacked any place or individuals without any resistance they can flee .Militants are well equipped and trained then civilian forces mostly police which is primarily responsible for maintaining law and order but unfortunately police it self are corrupt and incompetent and even some have links with militants as there some reports before.Also police also not well equipped and trained to crush forth generation warfare militants.Most enjoyment for militants are absence of special force or counter terrorism unit and force to deal with them. Government should take urgent steps to maintain law and order situation.The security related matters should be taken back from provincial governments to federal government.provincial governments are not capable to handle law and order and terrorism issues instead these issues should directly handled and monitored by federal government.

    • Politicians are safe and well guarded by the police. About 5000 police are guarding Nawaz Sharif and his beloved brother's khandan.

    • you know in pakistan terrorism is good business,they can export terrorism to outside world ,politicians are supporting them,from last 6 years pakistan under terrorist control,in future pakistan will bcome the poorest country in world,

  3. Terrorists are killing innocent people around the country. We are already very late in deciding how to deal with this war. Some politicians are still in favor to talk to them and bring them on table. Drone attacks are killing those terrorists who are killing our people but still many of our politicians are against drone attacks.

    Unfortunately, We are still confused and divided about this war. On the other hand our enemies, these terrorists are dedicated to kill us as and when they are given any chance.

    I request my leaders especially our top leaders Imran Khan and Nawaz Sharif that Please look at the damages and killings they have committed. We should now consider them as our enemies number one. We should attack their safe heavens. If America is hitting them then why not ask them to DO MORE… Lets ask them to hit those mutual enemies as and when they are found in the areas where our forces can not reach them…. We have to be bold on this issue… We need your courageous decisions. Please don't look on popular sentiments… just look into our national security and lives of poor people who are being killed by the terrorists.

    • There only viable solution is to sit down and talk with the learders of these terrorists. Trying to kill them all will not work , as it will create even more terrorist. Imran Khan has been advocating a political solution to bring Taliban in line with the main stream and solve the problems in Afghanistan. Drone attacks have not helped and will not . Expecting Nawaz sharif and his beloved brother to solve this problem will only cause dissappointment. They have contributed a great deal to the current problem by not encouraging literacy amongst youngsters and these youngsters with nothing to do turn to doing terrorist activities to make some money. There is only politician with a clear vision and brains to solve this problem, and it is Mr. Clean , IMRAN KHAN and he is unfortunayely not in power. May Allah protect us all- Ameen.

      • Well, I don't think Mr. Clean can handle this huge problem. Dont' you see, he and his team could stop Jail break in DIKhan.

        "Trying to kill them all will not work…"
        I think this is the only option we have. They are trying to kill us and they have not given any time to Mr. Clean who have been their loud advocate. They are not listening any one. They have their own agenda. They want to enforce their agenda on us by any means. They don't even mind killing us in the sacred month of Ramadan.
        Literacy is not the problem here. Foreign qualified people are participating in this killing activity and becoming suicide killers. Jihadi Mullas and their madrisas are the main source of this Jihadi fanaticism. More drones and more attacks by our military can reduce their force. This can put them on the run. Destroying their safe heavens can save us.
