ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is likely to summon an all-parties conference (APC) to “take political parties in confidence in the Operation Azm-e-Istehkam” after the opposition expressed serious concerns over the new counterterrorism drive.
The premier, who is currently in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana to represent Pakistan in global summits of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), will return home tonight — likely at 2am — after concluding his official foreign visit, sources told Geo News.
PM Shehbaz will hold consultations to decide on the date of the APC centric on the reinvigorated and re-energised national drive to root out militancy from the country following a spike in terrorist attacks, the sources said, adding that the date would be announced afterwards.
