According to a spokesperson, the prime minister said that the government is committed to eliminating terrorism at any cost. “There will be no mercy for those who have killed our children, citizens and soldiers,” he added.
It seems the government is worried about the poor ratio of disposal of cases from anti-terrorism courts, and that the convicted approach higher courts and are able to get stay orders.
According to sources, the government is committed to carrying out all recommendations of the parliamentary committee that suggests administrative and legal changes in the criminal justice system. The committee is in session and will finalises recommendations over the next seven days.

The air leak out so soon .......
The government is supposed to prosecute criminals.......the prosecution is DELIBERATELY kept weak....giving the judiciary reason to dismiss the cases and allow criminals to roam freely.
yup another drama
Janab PM Sahib I would acknowledge your "true honest sincerity" in case you give same order to remove long pending unscheduled stay orders on cases of defaulters, tax evaders etc rather asking AGP.
It is very easy for government to wash their hands with the blame and just point out poor conviction rates. I am curious to know how much of the poor conviction is due to poor prosecution and how much is purely down to intimidation to witnesses and judiciary alike.
