Islamabad : Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met the army chief, General Raheel Sharif, Friday at the army headquarters in Rawalpindi to discuss national security.
Sharif was accompanied by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan during the meet, Dawn reported.
The meeting occurred after General Raheel Sharif late Thursday night approved the execution of six terrorists, who were sentenced to death by military courts.
The army chief’s approval of their executions came after Sharif Wednesday lifted the moratorium on capital punishment in the country.
