It is pertinent to mention that National Action Plan (NAP) was launched after the heinous attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar in December 2014 in a bid to deal with the menace of terrorism in the country.
However, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has questioned the performance of Interior Ministry over the implementation of NAP following a series of terrorist attacks in the country.
Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has been a target of criticism over the implementation of the action plan against terrorists.
