ISLAMABAD:
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar will soon reveal significant details included in the National Action Plan on how the military will hunt down the financiers, abettors, facilitators and aides of militants, a senior official of the interior ministry said on Saturday.
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.
