QUETTA: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said that it is an occasion of achievement that the Federal government, Balochistan government, and armed forces are on all on the same page.

The PM chaired the Balochistan Apex Committee meeting where amongst the participants were Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif, Senior Minister Nawab Sanaullah Zehri, and former Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali.

During the meeting, the PM went on to say that important decisions will be taken today regarding the provincial National Action Plan (NAP) and that it is the responsibility of all the provinces to fully commit to the progress of implementation of NAP.

He further said that the progress was not only being watched by the people of all the respective provinces but in fact the whole nation is seeking tangible results.

PM Nawaz also said that some provinces were progressing slowly on the implementation while some faster. He added that provinces should treat this as a competition.

He reiterated that NAP was not formulated by the federal government alone and it was a consensus by all political parties and the whole nation.

Earlier today, the PM and the COAS arrived in Quetta to attend the meeting.

The meeting also reviewed the law and order situation in the province as well as development projects.

The PM is also expected to hold meetings with political leadership and party leaders in Quetta.
