He said the agenda was not prepared by the federal government alone but by the entire political leadership of the country. "The provinces must focus on the implementation of National Action Plan and the Centre would assist them in every possible way," he added.
He said the government had immediately taken two steps after Peshawar's tragic incident: constitutional amendment and military courts. He said implementation of National Action Plan was the key to eradicating terrorism from the country. "We will do everything to achieve this objective even if this involves special allocation of funds," he said.
The Prime Minister said the government's seriousness should not be doubted. "We are not only going after terrorists but also for those who are abetting them." "We have to succeed at all costs and there is no margin of error," he said.
He said apex committees had carried out meetings in provinces. In this regard, he mentioned the name of Punjab where as many as seven meeting have taken place so far. The Prime Minister said capacity building of all law enforcement agencies was the government's priority and stressed that transfers and postings in police should be merit-based. All chief ministers and chief secretaries briefed the Prime Minister about the progress on the implementation of National Action Plan in their provinces.
They discussed all 20 points of the plan one by one while Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan gave a briefing on their implementation status. Matters relating to the registration of Afghan refugees also came under discussion. Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Governor Mehtab Khan Abbasi, Defence Minister Khwaja Asif and Chief of the Army Staff General Raheel Sharif also attended the meeting.
