ISLAMABAD: A National Security Council (NSC) meeting has been convened on Tuesday to discuss the current law and order situation in the country after Aasia Bibi’s acquittal in blasphemy case.
This is the first NSC meeting under PM Imran Khan, who will discuss the prevailing security situation. He will also brief the top civil and military leadership about his China visit and meetings with Chinese and Russian dignitaries.
The PM returned to Islamabad last night after a four-day extensive visit of China where he also spoke at the opening ceremony of China International Import Expo as the keynote speaker.
Demonstrations – mainly led by the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) broke countrywide after the Supreme Court acquitted Aasia Bibi – a Christian woman who had been sentenced to death on charges of blasphemy. Several protesters turned to violent ways and vandalised public properties among other valuables.
