Nacta to monitor educational institutions, says interior minister

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Friday said all educational institutions will be monitored through National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta).

“All important steps are being taken to activate Nacta for monitoring of educational institutions,” he said in an interview.

He said the interior ministry was going to hold a conference in which all the vice chancellors of the universities would be invited.

“Some elements are trying to misguide the young educated people which would be discouraged with the help of teachers, parents, and other segment of society,” he added.

He said the Federal Investigation Agency had been tasked to strengthen Cyber Crime Wing.

To a question, Ahsan Iqbal said Pakistan had achieved many successes in war against terrorism and the world had acknowledged the sacrifices of Pakistan being rendered in rooting out the menace of terrorism.

It should be noted that Karachi University’s name came under light in wake of recent attack on Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) lawmaker Khawaja Izharul Hassan after the master mind behind the attack was said to be student at the varsity.
