“We have lost not only hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens, personnel of laws enforcement agencies, but also suffered loss of billions of dollars in the war against terrorism,” he said.
He said the government was committed to purge such unscrupulous elements (terrorists) from the country.
“In past, we fought valiantly and courageously,” he said.
He regretted and asked the opposition leaders to give concrete suggestions rather mere criticizing the government.
