PM Nawaz implored religious scholars to come forward and take the war against these terrorists to its logical end. The premier was speaking on the death anniversary of Sarfaraz Naeemi, the cleric of Jamia Naeemia who was killed by terrorists for his moderate Islamic views.

The prime minister said the sacrifice made by Naemmi and other security personnel would not go in vain and his government will trace out the remaining terror networks in the country.
