Chaudhry Nisar Presents National Security Policy in National Assembly

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan presented the National Security Policy in the National Assembly on Wednesday. The 100-page policy has three sections dealing with operations, strategies and dialogue. 

According to the Interior Minister, the policy took a total of six months in preparation and suggestions from all political parties were invited in this regard. However, only the MQM reportedly gave input.

The cabinet had earlier approved the policy on Tuesday, and now the IM asked for the opinion of lawmakers in the NA.

Nisar also shared that the government formed a peace talk committee to discuss matters with the Taliban, but it will not tolerate terrorist attacks in the country. In the same vein, the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made a statement on Tuesday, asking the Taliban to announce an unconditional ceasefire.

The PM has also reportedly asked the peace talk committee to stop because of the attacks carried out by the Taliban during the time talks were in progress.

In the prevailing situation, Chaudhry Nisar emphasized on the importance of a security policy for the protection of lives and properties of the people. According to Nisar, security forces and intelligence agencies will be brought together to improve their efficacy.
