The government on Friday reiterated its resolve to enforce writ of the government in all parts of the country. This commitment was made by top political and military leaderships of the country in a high-level meeting held at Aiwan-e-Sadr.
President Asif Ali Zardari chaired the meeting which was attended by Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvaiz Kayani, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Awami National Party Chief Asfandyar Wali Khan.
The meeting reviewed the security situation in NWFP in the wake of threat posed by militants in Swat and adjoining areas. The meeting refused to accept any parallel system of governance saying that if anyone tried to impose his agenda by use of force, he will be taken to task.
Top leadership of the country in the meeting discussed the progress towards peace and normalcy in Swat after promulgation of Nizam-e-Adl Regulation and ongoing military operation against militants in various areas of NWFP and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), well-informed sources said.
The meeting also discussed recent comments made by many top-ranking functionaries of the United States administration, voicing concern over Pakistan's internal affairs, sources said. The government will not close its options of peaceful settlement of issues. Any misadventure by non-state actors will be overturned by the government, sources added.
