PM Imran reviews country’s prevailing security situation

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has chaired a high-level meeting today (Friday) to review the internal and external security situation of the country.

According to a press release, Minister for Defence Mr. Parvez Khattak, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Nadeem Raza, Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan and Director General Inter-Services Intelligence Lt Gen Faiz Hamid attended the meeting.

The meeting reviewed internal and external security situation and resolved that sovereignty of Pakistan will be protected at all costs. It was also resolved that Pakistan believes in peaceful co-existence with its neighbors but we have both the will and the capacity to defend our people and territorial integrity.

The meeting expressed serious concern over the continued human rights violation by Indian forces in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK) and urged the international community to take notice.

The meeting also paid glowing tributes to the bravery and coordinated efforts of Law Enforcement Agencies who successfully thwarted the recent attack on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).

Earlier on Monday (June 29), the PSX building had come under attack when four heavily armed assailants tried to enter the building and opened fire on security guards and officials.

In an exchange of fire, all four terrorists were killed while four other security personnel were martyred. The outlawed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility through social media.
