Third Session (03-07-2013) |
Mr. Rafiullah Kakar (YP06-BALOCHISTAN05), Mr. Mateeullah Tareen (YP04-BALOCHISTAN03), Mr. Ahmed Salman Zafar (YP24-BALOCHISTAN07), Ms. Mehwish Rani (YP46-PUNJAB29) and Mr. Inam Ullah Marwat (YP14-KP04) would like to move the following resolution: “This House is of the opinion that the recent wave of terrorist attacks across the country reveals the alarmingly growing strength of the militants on one hand and the ignominious apathy and indecisiveness of the government and the political forces on other hand. Even more perturbing and worrisome is the fact that we, as a nation, continue to live in a state of denial, without realizing the severity of the threat posed by terrorism. This House calls upon the government to devise a clear-cut and well-defined approach regarding terrorism. It is the time to bell the cat and rescue this country and its people from the menace of terrorism.” |
