Meanwhile, President Asif Ali Zardari paid tribute to the security forces and said, “The complete eradication of foreign-backed terrorists operating against our beloved homeland will continue with national consensus“.

The counterterrorism campaign underway under ‘Azm-e-Istehkam’ reflects the national efforts to establish lasting peace in the country, President Zardari said.

“No political maneuver or attempt to distract attention at any level will be tolerated if it disrupts the national consensus against extremism and terrorism,” he said.
