PM chairs high-level meeting to discuss security situation
The meeting has been convened to discuss the recent border clashes between India and Pakistan and the progress in the ongoing Operation Zarb-e-Azb.
The meeting is attended by Army Chief General Raheel Sharif, DG ISI Zaheerul Islam, DG ISI designate Rizwan Akhtar, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar and Adviser to PM on National Security Sartaj Aziz.
At least 12 people have been killed since India resorted to ‘unprovoked’ firing on the border. The Pakistan Army has repeatedly affirmed that they have replied “befittingly” to the heavy firing and mortar shelling. However, the government has urged that the matter be resolved through dialogue between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Ceasefire violations on the Line of Control (LoC) and working boundary between India and Pakistan although common have been unusual in their intensity and frequency this time.
Further, the military offensive launched in North Waziristan against militants on June 15 is also being discussed in the meeting. According to an Inter Services Public Relations statement, 21 militants were killed in Tirah Valley, Khyber Agency on Thursday.

Stop firing and the situation will be automatically under control. Politician will create the border issue anytime to divert the public attention. The LOC is ok with Pakistan. Politicians need to start wording about the poverty, violence and corruption. For once, somebody needs to pay attention on what is happening inside the country rather then creating trouble at border and blaming other side for it.
What a pleasant surprise that PM of Pakistan is chairing a security meeting and that too where the Chief of Army is attending as a member. Seems to be a good news.
After 18 months of absence......its good to know we have a working Prime Minister.......thank you Imran Khan.
