ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will preside over a meeting of the federal cabinet on Monday to discuss the security situation in the country, it is learnt on Sunday.

Sources said that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had been asked to give a comprehensive briefing to the cabinet on the implementation of the National Action Plan to counter terrorism.

The plan was launched by the government following a multi-party conference held in the wake of the last year’s Taliban attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar which left over 145 people, mostly children, dead.

The cabinet is expected to also discuss two important legislations — the Right to Information Bill and the Cyber Crime Prevention Bill.

Two similar private members’ bills are already at present under consideration of the parliamentary committees.
