Geo News has reported that under the newly announced anti-terror operation Azm-e-Istehkam, security sources have emphasised that there will be no evictions or military operations under the new anti-terror campaign.
Under Azm-e-Istehkam, a multidimensional strategy would be undertaken to effectively end the menace of terrorism along with effective legislation aimed at ensuring militants are duly punished in the court of law.
Furthermore, policies would be made to prevent smuggling and drug money from being used to finance terrorism in the country.
The clarifications came to light after various opposition political parties including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insfaf (PTI), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Awami National Party (ANP) voiced serious concerns over the operation’s consequences in the country.
Last week, the Prime Minister’s Office also clarified that “no large-scale military operation is being launched” that would cause internal displacement of the local population.
