The interior minister will update the nation about the steps being taken to hunt militants, as well as the possible expansion of the military operation in the country, he said.
He will also provide details of recommendations given by army chief General Raheel Sharif to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a meeting held at the military headquarters on Friday, the official added.
All major political parties will most likely give their input on the National Action Plan to the government today or tomorrow, after which the National Action Plan Committee will discuss the recommendations, the senior officer of the interior ministry added.
Rashid protests against exclusion in NAPC
Meanwhile, Awami Muslim League (AML) President Sheikh Rashid has spoken out against his exclusion by the government in a meeting of the National Action Plan Committee.
“My party is in the National Assembly, but [the government] did not include my name to the committee,” he told The Express Tribune.
“I, as a member of the National Assembly, want to give input to this committee,” Rashid added.
He added that Ijazul Haq of the Pakistan Muslim League-Zia – who only has one seat in Parliament – was a part of the NAPC among others.
“I will lodge my protest with the speaker of the NA in the upcoming session,” he said.
“The NAPC is a national committee. I am ready to give my input if someone invites me,” he added.
