ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will chair a high level meeting today where the National Action Plan will be discussed.
The meeting comes in the wake of a suicide bomb explosion in Quetta on Monday which killed 74 and injured over 112 people.
The explosion at Quetta?s Civil Hospital took place when Balochistan Bar Association President Bilal Kasi's body was being brought to the emergency department. He was gunned down at Mano Jan Road earlier today. Former Balochistan Bar President Baz Muhammad Kakar was injured in the attack. He later succumbed to his wounds at the hospital.
In a meeting held at the PM house on Tuesday  Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday called for seamless coordination between law enforcement agencies and the federal and provincial government to achieve optimum results against extremism and terrorism.
During the meeting, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and National Security Advisor Lt-Gen (retd) Nasir Khan Janjua briefed the prime minister on how terrorist organisations were attacking soft targets.
According to a statement from the PM House, the meeting discussed at length the internal security situation of the country and different aspects of the National Action Plan.
The meeting observed that, after achieving successful results from operation Zarb-e-Azb in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), terrorists have now shifted their targets from state institutions merely out of desperation.
"We are in a state of war with an ideology that wants to change our way of life," said PM Nawaz Sharif.
