The country’s top civil and military leadership flocked to KP to attend the apex committee meeting, where the forum renewed its pledge to eliminate terrorism in all forms. The apex committee discussed that the federal government and provinces would adopt a uniform strategy to counter-terrorism.
Earlier this week, Pakistan witnessed the deadliest attack in which a militant in the guise of a police uniform infiltrated the heavily guarded compound and killed over a hundred people.
