ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and the US have decided to host a “Law Enforcement Dialogue” in October of this year as the nation keeps up its efforts to combat the evil of terrorism.
The development occurred during a discussion about issues of shared interest and bolstering bilateral ties between US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.
The government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has chosen to start a national conversation to eradicate terrorism and extremism in the nation, sources told Geo News earlier this week.
The action was taken in response to the federal government’s announcement last month that it would begin a new anti-terror campaign known as “Operation Azm-e-Istehkam,” which sparked concerns from a number of political parties, including Jamiat and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The Center has insisted that “no large-scale military operation is being launched” in the nation, guaranteeing that the issue would be addressed before the legislature and possibly leading to mass evictions.
In order to reach an agreement on the operation, PM Shehbaz has also decided to call an all-parties conference (APC). Imran Khan, the founder of the PTI, has endorsed the move and stated that his party will be present at the meeting, which will be hosted by the government.
The Pakistan Army, meanwhile, said that the “vision” was being purposefully misconstrued for “vested interests” and condemned the excessive criticism directed towards the just initiated counterterrorism operation.
