LAHORE: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif here said that terrorism is a scourge that has left a heavy toll on human lives and public and private property for decades.
Speaking at the concluding ceremony of the 7th Maritime Security Workshop at Pakistan Navy War College in Lahore, the prime minister said over 80,000 people had lost their lives with the economy suffering losses worth billions of dollars during war against terrorism.
“The PML-N government had eliminated this menace in 2018, however, unfortunately terrorism has once again sprung out,” he added.

He said all-out efforts were being made to ensure peace and economic progress. He said several meetings of the apex committee had been held to ensure maintenance of law and order.
“Great sacrifices are being offered by officers and jawans of armed forces to ensure security of the country and their sacrifices will not go in vain,” he added.
