ISLAMABAD, JAN 4: Amid an uptick in terrorist activity in the country, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Wednesday assured the nation that the government was taking steps to counter terrorism. Pakistan has seen a rise in terrorist attacks across the country, believed to have been planned and directed by the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leaders based in Afghanistan. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad today, Sanaullah said the state’s efforts against terrorism could not be publicised as it would compromise its success. “But this should not be taken to mean that nothing is being done,” the minister said, adding that tremendous efforts against terrorism were underway and the nation should rest assured about the matter. Sanaullah said the NSC meeting had concretely decided that talks about any concerns or issues would only be held with the Afghan government.
