ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Ahsan Iqbal said today that enemies of Pakistan were sponsoring terrorism activities to create unrest and sabotage China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
Talking to a private news channel, he said, since banned outfits were not organized in the country, foreign funded targeted activities against Hazara community in Quetta was conspiracy to create chaos. “Such activities are planned across the border,” he said.
He said Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) government took security of the country as a challenge in 2013 and achieved success by improving overall situation of law and order throughout the country.
Law enforcement agencies were fighting on front-line and rendering sacrifices of lives in line of duties in Balochistan, he said adding that terror related incidents had declined due to efforts jointly made by the federal and provincial governments.
The minister said security had been beefed up in the province besides enhancing capacity of the police there. “Work on fencing our border with Afghanistan is being completed on fast track as it is a permanent solution to stop illegal movement on the border,” he added.
