Every child of Pakistan is in a state of war, said Khan, adding the country was facing extraordinary security at this juncture.

He pointed out that military tribunals were also formed in a country like the United States after 9/11 incident. “As many as 40,000 Pakistanis have lost their lives in war on terror.”

He reiterated that 90% of religious seminaries were not involved in terrorism activity. The minister said terrorists ideology do not coincide with the principles of Islam. The government is utterly against hate mongers, he added.
