PM Shehbaz constitutes task force to identify people involved in Islamabad ‘chaos’

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif established a task force on Friday to identify the people involved in spreading “chaos and violence” in Islamabad earlier this week and take strict action against them. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi would lead the committee.

Law and Justice Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Economic Affairs Division Minister Ahad Cheema, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar and representatives of the security forces would be members of the task force.

He took the decision while presiding over a meeting to review the law and order situation. The prime minister also decided to set up a ‘Federal Riot-Control Force’ to prevent future attempts to spread chaos and violence in the country.

The force would be equipped with professional training and necessary equipment, on the lines of international standards.

In addition, it was decided to set up the Federal Forensic Lab in which modern technology would be used to investigate and collect evidence of such incidents.

It was also decided to modernise the Islamabad Safe City project besides strengthening the federal prosecution service.

“Pakistan is moving towards stability and development. Enemies of the country’s development will never succeed in their nefarious designs,” PM Shehbaz said and added Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the land of brave and proud people.

“A handful of disruptors do not represent honourable and respectful Pashtun community,” the prime minister said and claimed that the November 24 aggression was rejected by the KP people and all Pakistanis.
