ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - In response to the rising wave of terrorism in the country, the government has decided to convene a meeting of the Parliamentary National Security Committee.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has initiated consultations to call the meeting, which is expected to be held on March 19 or 20 under the chairmanship of National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq.

According to sources, the top military leadership and intelligence officials will participate in the closed-door session, where the entire House will be converted into the Security Committee. Federal ministers and leaders of all parliamentary parties will also be invited.

During the session, the military leadership will brief lawmakers on the increasing terrorist activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, addressing their concerns and discussing future strategies.

Additionally, the committee will review Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s proposal for a "National Action Plan 2.0" and discuss expanding counter-terrorism operations. The implementation of the existing National Action Plan will also be assessed.
