ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Saturday underlined the need for making collective efforts to address the root cause behind the terrorist activities taking place in the country, which was extremism.

In a tweet, the minister said ‘the biggest reason behind terrorism is extremism’ that the enemy used as a weapon against the country. Fawad deplored that the tendencies of extremism took birth when the pulpit (a place at mosques from where Ulema and religious scholars deliver sermons), school and police station failed to play their due role in society.

He stressed the cooperation of parliament and judiciary in taking major steps against extremism in the state, declaring it ‘inevitable.’ “We will have to take (the required) measures, for which consensus is required.”
