A closed-door meeting of Pakistan's Parliamentary Committee on National Security is set for Tuesday.

Prime Minister's aide Rana Sanaullah stated that military leaders will brief lawmakers on the security situation following a recent deadly attack on a passenger train. He emphasized the need for Afghanistan to deny safe havens to terrorists. Sanaullah noted that the interim Afghan government has provided support to militants. He mentioned that military and civil leadership will collaborate on a multi-dimensional policy to address the issue, with input from various officials, including the Chief of Army Staff.
