The committee was formed a day after the horrific attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar in which 150 people were killed by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during the meeting also said "history would not forgive us if we don't take concrete steps to end the scourge of terrorism in Pakistan."
Leaders met today in Islamabad to discuss the progress made so far in chalking out the national action plan against terrorism.
Correction: An earlier version of this story had incorrectly referred to Maj Gen Asim Bajwa as DG ISI.
