Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has vowed to implement the National Action Plan with full force to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country.

He expressed the resolve during his emergency visit to Peshawar after the suicide bomb blast at Police Lines mosque.

The Prime Minister said the sinister designs of terrorists to create an atmosphere of fear and terror will be thwarted with strength of national unity.  He said the capacity and efficiency of anti-terrorist institutions and police will be further enhanced.

The Prime Minister termed attacking mosques and innocent civilians during namaz in the name of Islam a cowardly act which cannot shaken the nation's resolve against terrorism. He said the miscreants and their facilitators involved in attacks on innocent citizens would be punished for their heinous crimes.

Inspector General Police Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Muazam Jah Ansari presented the preliminary investigative report of the suicide attack to the Prime Minister.
