The prime minister said the state was fully conscious of challenges relating to national security as it was tackling both internal and external problems.
He also said that Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad against terrorists was underway to purge the society from sleeper cells and sympathizers of extremists.
Khaqan Abbasi said there had been a paradigm shift not only from state-centric focus to societal security concerns, but also in the concept and understanding of national security.
