ISLAMABAD: The total number of terrorist attacks reported in Pakistan decreased by 45%, total number of deaths reduced by 39% and the total number of people injured decreased by 53% in comparison to 2014, according United States State Department’s reports.
On June 2, the US State Department released ‘Country Reports on Terrorism’ – which describes the counter-terrorism background during the last year. According to the report, terrorist incidents in India and Bangladesh increased manifold during this period.
The figures in the report were provided to the National Assembly during its last session on Friday by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan who informed the National Assembly that the incidents of terrorism have decreased since implementation of National Action Plan (NAP).
As a result of the visible improvement in the law and order situation in Pakistan, investor confidence has increased and the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has hit its highest mark in three years, he said and added that all of this has been possible because of the NAP.
All stakeholders are implementing the NAP – including federal government, provincial governments and 22 others bodies, Nisar said.
