ISLAMABAD:Special Assistant to the prime minister on Media Affairs, Dr. Musadik Malik Thursday said Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) government was implementing National Action Plan (NAP) in true spirit to eliminate terrorism and extremism from the country.
A number of combined operations were conducted under NAP throughout the country and many elements were arrested in that regard, he said talking to a private news channel.
He said more than 150,000 people were arrested in the operations. Musadik said 15,000 to 20,000 were the people apprehended for misusing loud-speaker. He said 7,000 to 9,000 was the figure of arrested people for hate speeches.
To a question, he said former prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was consistently presenting his stance as he had been talking of rule of law and supremacy of vote of people in the country.
Pakistan was moving towards right direction, however, he said, more efforts were needed to further strengthen the system.
He said it was an equal responsibility of all the political parties to play role for the development and prosperity in the country.
