According to Geo News, the civil and military leadership has devised a three-point strategy to tackle militant organisations in the country. The three points are :(1) Completely disarming these orginsations and sending a clear message to their financiers to stop funding them. (2) Providing a way for large organisations to be incorporated into the political main stream. (3) Finding ways for the promotion of moral and welfare activities of these organisations.

The sources told Geo News a one point strategy will be formulated to deal with banned organisations which function by changing their name.
