MURREE: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is chairing a brainstorming session in Murree with his close aides to discuss the National Action Plan (NAP) to combat terrorism and important national issues, including the current energy situation.

The prime minister, along with his family members and federal ministers, will discuss challenges that the country is facing, following the recent fuel shortage crisis and the electricity breakdown.

The meeting was chaired by premier to review the government's policies and performance, as well as to devise a strategy on how to address the issues.

The meeting will form strategies regarding domestic issues, senate elections, the energy crisis, cabinet reshuffling, foreign policy, and the federal government’s conduct with provincial governments and defence institutions.

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the premier’s daughter Maryam Nawaz Shairf, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and other close aides from Punjab.

The attendees will discuss the challenges being faced by the federal government and the Punjab government, as well as the implementation of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s manifesto.

The premier expressed satisfaction over the supply of petrol in the country, and directed all relevant ministries and departments to ensure seamless coordination in order to avoid the occurrence of a shortage again.

Additionally, Chief Minister Shahbaz apprised the premier of the progress made by the province in implementing the NAP.

The prime minister said the government is committed to eradicating terrorism and extremism from the country, and has requested other provinces to speed up the process of implementing the programme.

Further, he said all political parties unanimously agreed on the 20 points of the NAP, and it is the responsibility of all federating units of the country to implement it.

The prerequisite for chairing a brainstorming session is having a brain. Therefore this session is null and void

@PMLN UK: Learning on the job with such a large amount of money, and that too not her own! Now, she is home schooling her daughter because of security reasons while everyone else is going to school. Great example from a government representative! She needs to go along with all the other Sharif relatives in the government.
