Islamabad, July 19: Pakistan Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali has sought public support to stamp out the menace of terrorism and sectarianism. "All sections of the society have a responsibility towards supplementing the government's efforts for stamping out the menace of terrorism and sectarianism," Jamali said at an inter-provincial conference to review law and order situation. Expressing his government's determination to combat and eradicate terrorism in all forms, Jamali directed law enforcing agencies not to allow any political interference. "Political expediency should not be a hurdle in the smooth functioning of the law enforcing agencies and there should be no consideration or concession for anyone," Jamali was quoted as saying by daily 'The News'.
Speaking to police chiefs from across Pakistan who had gathered at the conference, he said "Pakistan was facing a sinister conspiracy" by terrorists, who want to destabilise President Pervez Musharraf's government and frighten potential investors away.
"They wanted to deprive the people of the fruits of development by discouraging prospective investors," he said. Bureau Report
