The federal government has directed the law enforcement agencies operating across the country, especially in Karachi, to take stricter action against the self-styled Daesh-affiliated groups.
The order came after Islamabad decided that it cannot allow religiously-inspired violence to spread throughout the country at a time when the administration is trying to defuse a politically volatile situation in the port city.
Following Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's directives to the Ministry of Interior, the law enforcers have been asked to expedite their efforts against Daesh not only to weaken them but to eliminate them altogether, come what may.
