Pakistan Government Launch Operation: Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has decided to conduct a military operation to end the growing insurgency and terrorism in the country. During this, the National Action Plan Committee under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has approved ‘Operation Azm-e-Istehkaam’. The purpose of this operation is to end the increasing terrorism in Pakistan. However, the Pakistan government has taken this decision after the threat from China.
