ISLAMABAD: Army chief General Raheel Sharif on Friday said the establishment of special courts [is] not the desire of the army, but need of extraordinary times.



An All Parties Conference on the National Action Plan is currently underway where Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has called for the finalisation of the draft legislation and also urged the bill to be tabled in the National Assembly today.

"Today's session will determine the destiny of our nation," the ISPR spokesperson quoted the army chief as saying.



"Consensus reached during the first APC must endure, and we need to make quantum decisions," he said.



Gen Raheel further added that Pakistan has reached a critical stage in its campaign against terrorism.



"We will win decisively," he said.
