Shrine Attack : Nawaz Sharif directs forces to eliminate terrorists 'wherever they are'

In an unusually strong-worded statement, the premier directed and authorised armed forces and law enforcement agencies to eliminate the enemy – whether it be inside the country or ‘coming from outside’ of it – with the full force of the state.

Informed official sources said the PM chaired separate meetings in Islamabad, Sehwan and Nawabshah where security measures



after deadly blast at Lal Shahbaz Qalandar’s shrine were reviewed.

The meetings were attended by the security brass led by army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, military and civilian spymasters and members of the premier’s cabinet, including Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and National Security Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Nasser Khan Janjua.
