LAHORE: Had the National Action Plan been implemented in all the four provinces evenly and with the same sincerity, no questions would have surfaced about its being “biased”.

PAT Chairman Dr Tahirul Qadri said this while talking to party leaders on Monday.

He said over 80 percent part of the NAP had not been touched upon and the nation was thinking whether the fight against terrorism would ever bear any fruits?

Qadri said corruption and terrorism were interlinked and the country could never progress and the terrorists’ network would never be busted until the elimination of “economic terrorism”.

He said PAT had long ago indicated that the rulers would never implement the NAP as “they themselves are strong supporters of terrorists”.

He said the rulers could stoop to any low to stick to power and to make easy bucks by hook or by crook.
