Pakistan's defence minister calls for unity in fight against terrorism
Pakistan's defence minister on Tuesday urged all political forces of the country to unite against terrorists who are targeting not a sect or particular segment of society but the entire nation. The statement came a day after the death toll in the terrible suicide bombing in a Peshawar mosque rose to 100, while the attack is being compared with the school bombing of 2014 which had killed around 150 people, mostly students. Khawaja Asif was asked by journalists outside the parliament building about the possibility of any fresh operation against the militants. He said that the high-level National Security Committee (NSC) would decide about launching a military operation to eliminate militancy. "This is a decision that the National Security Committee will take. Such things can be decided at a forum (like the NSC) which is able to take such major decisions," he said. Later addressing the parliament, he urged all political forces to unite against terrorists who are targeting not a sect
