ISLAMABAD: In a significant move to combat the rising incidents of terrorism in Pakistan, a special 15-member committee has been formed to eradicate the menace. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi will head the committee, which comprises home secretaries of all provinces, including AJK and GB, as well as officials from intelligence agencies and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD).
The committee's primary objective is to transform Pakistan into a "Hard State" for terrorists, making it increasingly difficult for them to operate within the country. This decision comes amid a surge in terrorist incidents, prompting the government to take decisive action.
According to sources, the committee will also oversee the repatriation of Afghan nationals, ensuring that the process aligns with Pakistan's national interests. This development is particularly significant, given the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region.
Army Chief Gen Asim Munir has emphasized the importance of national security, stating that no movement or individual surpasses it. He has advocated for a "Hard State" approach, highlighting the need for better governance and a more robust response to terrorism.
The formation of this committee marks a critical step in Pakistan's efforts to combat terrorism and ensure national security. With Mohsin Naqvi at the helm, the committee is poised to make a meaningful impact in the fight against terrorism.
