On Wednesday, the Prime Minister’s Steering Committee on Peace reviewed the recent series of attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, notably in Swat, and agreed to support the provincial government in reducing terrorist activity in the region.
“Today, I presided over the meeting of the steering committee on peace where the recent terrorist attacks in KPK particularly Swat were thoroughly reviewed.” the minister wrote on Twitter.
He also said on twitter; “It was unanimously decided to abet the provincial government in curbing terrorist activities. The KPK government must ensure peace in the province rather than playing petty politics in the name of a long march against the federal government.”
He was referring to PTI chairman Imran Khan’s long march on Islamabad.
The peace committee met earlier in the day, presided over by Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah. MNA Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, MNA Khalid Hussain Magsi, MNA Mohsin Dawar, Advisor to Prime Minister Amir Makam, former KP governor Shaukatullah Khan, and former Senator Muhammad Saleh Shah were among those present.
The meeting was called a day after a school vehicle was attacked in Swat’s Charbagh district, killing the van driver and injuring two kids.
