Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said on Saturday the imposition of emergency rule and political unrest in the country had not affected the government’s commitment to fight terrorism and extremism. “We are hunting terrorists with more power after the imposition of emergency rule,” the minister told US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne W Patterson and Canadian High Commissioner WD Collins at separate meetings with them.
Sherpao said Pakistan would continue collaborating with Canada and the US against human smuggling and terrorism. “Efforts are underway to bring peace in Swat and Tribal Areas of the country,” he told Patterson. Pakistan, he added, itself was a victim of terrorism. |
