Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General of Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), will hold a key press conference today at 3 PM. He will address the current security situation and discuss the challenges facing Pakistan, both internal and external.
Recent months have seen a rise in terrorist attacks in Pakistan, with groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launching attacks from Afghan soil. The TTP has been identified as a major threat, responsible for many recent fatalities.
In response, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has approved a new national counter-terrorism initiative called Operation Azm-e-Istehkam. This plan aims to tackle extremism and terrorism across the country. The Prime Minister stressed that fighting terrorism requires the cooperation of both federal and provincial governments, as well as all institutions, not just the military.
