ISLAMABAD: The government requested on Thursday all parliamentary leaders to bring forward names of representatives for an anti-terror plan-of-action committee.

According to the PM House, the names given so far are PML-Q’s Mushahid Hussain Syed, ANP’s Afrasiab Khattak, PTI’s Shah Mehmood Qureshi, JUI-F’s Akram Khan Durrani, JI’s Fareed Paracha, PPP’s Qamar Zaman Kaira and Rehman Malik.

The committee is set to hold its first meeting tomorrow (Friday) at 4pm in the Parliament committee room.

The political leadership vowed on Wednesday to avenge the dastardly massacre of 148 people at a Peshawar school and to eliminate every single terrorist "without discrimination".

“We have decided to draft a national plan of action against terrorists and act upon it immediately,” Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said while reading out decisions taken at a meeting of heads of all parliamentary parties at the Governor House in Peshawar.

The committee, under Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar, will prepare a national plan of action against terrorism and present its report to the national leadership within seven days. The plan will be presented to the public after the approval of the political leadership.
