MPs want in-camera briefing on militancy
Rabbani wants military leadership invited to parliament for briefing on rise in TTP activities
As lawmakers in parliament’s second joint sitting on Monday sounded alarm over surge in terrorist activities by the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), PPP Senator Raza Rabbani demanded that the military leadership provide an in-camera briefing on failed peace talks with militants.
In a joint sitting chaired by National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf, the lawmakers rued the decision to enter into dialogue with militants and demanded that the military leadership be invited to the house for an in-camera briefing on the matter in light of resurging militancy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
They deplored that the emerging security situation was threatening to devour businesses and trade communities in the province as commoners lived under the reign of terror, bereft of protection.
Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Shazia Marri also endorsed the PPP senator’s suggestion to convene an in-camera sitting to thoroughly discuss the facts behind the gory incidents and stressed the need to focus on law and order in the country as durable peace could help address all other problems, including the economic crisis.
She recalled that parliament has always come forth to play a key role whenever incidents of terrorism such as the Peshawar Police Lines mosque blast and the Army Public School attack shook the nation.
