NAP being criticised for point-scoring: Ch. Nisar

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has stated that National Action Plan (NAP) is being criticized only for point-scoring.

Addressing a press conference here Thursday, the Interior Minister said, “Incidents of terrorism in the country have gone down after launch of operation Zarb-e-Azb and NAP.”

He said those who had never read the NAP were criticising it, adding that constitutionally law and order is the responsibility of the provinces.

The Interior Minister accused Khursheed Shah of getting incentives from the incumbent government.

He also admitted that there was a ‘Muk Mukka' (secret give-and-take) between Pakistan People’s Party and the incumbent government. He said it is the same ‘Muk Mukka’ that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) accused them of.

Nisar said Pakistan is winning the war on terror by the efforts of military but losing it on psychological grounds.

The minister went on to say, “We are in a state of war, and wars cannot be fought only through guns and bullets. Winning psychological war is also important.”

He said Pakistan is winning the war on terror by the efforts of military but losing it on psychological grounds.

He said terrorists are targeting the soft targets like educational institutions because their backbone had been broken.
