Says it is a national security issue, not any political move
Calls for complete consensus among political forces and institutionsLAHORE – Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Tuesday asked for not comparing the planned Operation Azm-i-Istehkam with the military actions taken against terrorists in the past, saying there were no no-go areas in Pakistan unlike the previous state of affairs when the Taliban had complete control over regions like Swat and erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas .
He said the operation had been envisaged to arrest the rise in terrorism activities in recent months and mentioned that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur did not raise any objection to the proposed operation at the Apex Committee meeting held in an attempt to revive the National Action Plan.
The decision taken at the Apex Committee meeting would be discussed at a federal cabinet meeting on Tuesday and the later debated upon in the parliament, he said. It won’t resemble the operation held previously in Swat when the military had to move in to retake the control of the region, resulting in displacement of local population, he said in response to some questions.Answering a question, Khawaja Asif said the terrorists were trying to sabotage economic development and Chinese investment in Pakistan – a clear reference to the repeated attacks carried out on Chinese nationals working in different parts of the country.
