A multi-dimensional policy being pursued in the war against terrorism,” President Asif Ali Zardari told Chinese newsmen in an interview here.
Talking to Chinese mediamen at the Presidency Zardari said, “we would have to use economic, political and military options to eliminate the menace of extremism and terrorism.”
The Pakistani government has adopted a three-pronged strategy to combat terrorism, he said, but added that limited resources were increasing problems for the government.
The President said that the guns alone could not win the war against terrorism.
“Maintenance of peace in FATA and the NWFP is the foremost responsibility of the government and providing protection to people is a challenge,” Zardari said.
The civil institutions were not offered proper attention in the past to play a role for security, the President said. This government is focussing much on the problem to bolster capacity of the civil institutions, he added.
