ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will be chairing a National Security Committee (NSC) meeting today (Monday) with important decisions expected to be made on the proposals considered at the NSC moot last week.

Civil and military officials will attend the meeting chaired by the prime minister. The participants will discuss matters related to national security and the economy.



On December 30, the NSC vowed to respond firmly to resurgent terrorism in the country and declared militants "enemies of Pakistan".

According to sources, the NSC will approve clear guidelines on the country's economy and security, while the meeting will also approve decisive actions against terrorists.

Sources said that important decisions are expected on the proposals that came under consideration in the meeting held on Friday.

Last NSC meeting​

During Friday's NSC moot, the committee had resolved to speed up operations against terrorists in the wake of rising insurgency in the country.

In a statement, the Prime Minister's Office had said the NSC's participants expressed an unequivocal opinion that Pakistan's national interests will not be compromised and no one will be allowed to harm national security.

The PM had chaired the NSC meeting, which was attended by services chiefs, intelligence heads, and federal ministers, the statement had mentioned.

The meetings come after the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) announced an end to the ceasefire with Islamabad and ramped up attacks on security forces, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

During Friday's meeting, the participants took into stock the country's economic and security situation, the statement said.

Government and state institutions resolved that Pakistan's fundamental interests for existence, security and progress will be well-protected with bravery and lasting strategy. “Unequivocal opinion was expressed to defend the country’s national interests and not allow anyone to undermine the key concept of national security.”

Participants of the meeting also paid tribute to the great sacrifices of martyrs and extended their condolences towards their families.

It was determined in the meeting that terrorists are Pakistan’s enemies and the entire nation is united on the single narrative of standing against terrorism.

“Those challenging the writ of the state will get a full force response,” the statement read.

Terror strikes back​

For the past few weeks, Pakistan has witnessed a fresh wave of terrorism with the most recent spate of terror attacks carried out in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Last week, the Pakistan Army's top brass resolved to uproot terrorism "without any distinction" as the country battles a fresh wave of insurgency, which has left many soldiers martyred and several others injured.

PM Shehbaz, too, had reiterated his resolve to uproot the menace of terrorism by using all available resources.

The premier had said he would take all possible steps to control terrorism in all its forms in the country.

In seven separate blasts across districts in Pakistan's southwestern province, five soldiers were martyred and more than a dozen others were injured.

Earlier this month, militants also took over a compound of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) in KP's Bannu. It was cleared by the Pakistan Army soldiers three days later. However, four soldiers embraced martyrdom and 10 sustained injuries.

Well, guys, make sure to do your Wudu.

The situation with TTP can be solved very easily in one of the following ways:

1- Having Sharia in Tribal areas.
or
2- Having a customs union treaty with Afghanistan as well as an unwritten defence treaty.

Going for option no 2 is a little bit difficult but will make Pakistan a bigger power with increase in area and no of troops and being able to match India.

No thanks. No concessions. TTP are a terrorist group. Any appeasement of terrorists only results in further problems down the road.

Or did you forget APS?

This is not a situation for emotionalism. Where will the money for the operation come from? We have to pay $8 B in the next few months and $ 28 B for the next few years every year. The country is almost bankrupt and we are proposing large operations. Napolean said that an Army marches on its stomach. US will pay a little bit for this operation as said by Bilawal but that will not solve our immediate or medium term problem. The economy will further suffer due to the rise in violence.

No thanks. You give them an inch and they will take a mile. You seem to have selective amnesia about what happened with Mullah Radio and SWAT.

I partially agree BUT the issue is there doesn't appear to be a clear guideline. Now if afghan-tali were recognised and given their due then I doubt that they would have become hostile! recognise their turf and so be it.

But because of the yoyoing policy from Pakistan they have made their decision and its against Pakistan. Policy guidelines are the proverbial 50 shades of grey and that is due to political instability.

A victory has become defeat for Pakistan. I don't know who or what in Pakistan decides that victory doesn't suit them and they will commit suicide to make their win a loss.

TTP are a terrorist group, they have no morals and ethics. Accepting such terms is providing them and nourishing environment for them open recruiting and radicalization.

Any sort of talks if ever done should be done by local and provincial elected officials from that area. No one else! as they dont share stakes there

Launching a full scale operation is not the answer. with no money in the federal bank.

Leave the poetic nonsense for the Taliban fanboys you seem to associate with. No one here with a brain cell with buy the churan you are trying to sell.

Lol, what a post. Okay we will just sit in our homes and allow 2013 to revisit us. Yar please look around you.

This shows that you think TTP is fighting for sharia or islam

It isn't. It is a bunch of criminals and terrorists who are khwarij in the eyes of Islam

Sweetheart you miss understood my post. i am no terrorist sympathizer. I have no loose screws in my head. they are barbaric and ruthless c*nts and should be dealth will accordingly.
Nor am I someone from Zaid Hamid Brigade to whome army is Holy and God likely. Army has some serious morons planning ops and outcomes of their decisions.

My point in right now its not the time to show who has a bigger d!ck rather to initiate a truce with local stakeholders involved.
TTP isn’t dumb they know the army situation and where the country is headed they will exploit it at every cost.
Why would Pakistan go back to 2013 isn’t the border supposedly manned and barbed. (promise made by the army).

 

[jupiter2007]

Government needs 3 billion from Saudi and 3 billion from China to survive another 6 months. If Army chief failed to get 3 billon from Saudi Arabia, we will definitely go to default

Referring to an old man as a sweetheart is . Secondly you mention bank balance float in first post and then mention concrete action in the other? Bipolar much?

No one has accused you of being in either camp, least of all me so no need to justify yourself to me .

Re: Army Leadership - no comment.

Re: Border fencing… And Mexico has a wall in the US border, along with patrols from ICE, Marshals and surveillance drones… But the Mexicans still get in
