There were also senior security people present. According to sources, security personnel briefed the meeting’s attendees about the most recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
The conference was also given a briefing on the measures being done to combat terrorism in Pakistan and illegal immigration.
According to sources, the group decided to set a deadline for foreigners living unlawfully in Pakistan to return, and when that date had passed, their property would be taken.
According to report, which cited the military’s media wing, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir underlined on Saturday that Pakistan’s armed forces’ campaign against terrorists would continue unabatedly and that they would not stop until the threat of terrorism was eradicated from the nation.

Senior civil and military officials, as well as Chief Minister Balochistan, Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Ahmed Bugti, and important province ministers, attended the briefing.
