Chairman National Commission for Government Reforms, Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor, MNA on Thursday said legislators exhibited unprecedented political wisdom during the in-camera session of the parliament over the security issue.
It was collective-will and political wisdom of parliamentarians, which paved the way for adoption of a unanimous resolution over the most sensitive issue confronting the country, he told PTV.
He said the political parties had divergent views on the issue in the beginning but gradually they moved towards consensus when the briefing moved forward. Abdul Ghafoor said the government took the parliament into confidence by holding in-camera briefing over its strategy about war against terrorism. While, parliamentarians have vowed to play their due role in eliminating extremism and terrorism from the society, he added.
He said under the unanimous resolution the parliament will devise an independent foreign policy based on the views and recommendations of parliamentarians. Besides, parliamentary groups of the two houses will set-up a committee to monitor the independent foreign policy.
To a question, the Chairman said writ of the state would be established at every cost and miscreants would be wiped-out from the tribal areas. The government will hold talks only with patriot tribesmen and those who will surrender before it, he said. Various developmental projects have been initiated in the tribal areas for economic uplift of the people, he added.
