Mohsin Naqvi underlines PM Shehbaz’s strategic role in Iran-Israel ceasefire

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Interior Mohsin Naqvi said that the Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has played a key role in the ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

Pakistan did not suffer much loss in the conflict against India, Naqvi said while talking to media reporters alongside religious scholars regarding security measures for the month of Muharram

“None of the missiles fired by India reached their target. India fired about 11 missiles at military bases in Pakistan, but none of our aircraft were damaged,” he added.

The Minister for Interior added that Pakistan did not target civilians in India during the conflict.

Regarding sectarian unity and security during Muharram, the minister stated that law enforcement’s work is just as crucial as that of religious scholars.

Speaking at the conference, Interior Minister Talal Chaudhary emphasized the need for cooperation in maintaining law and order throughout Muharram and in combating terrorist groups.

Earlier, Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) had made special traffic plans in anticipation of the 6th Muharram procession to be held in Sector I-9 on Wednesday.

The procession will start from Street No. 22 and end at Imambargah Jafriya in I-9/1, as per an ITP official. For ensuring safety, the service road along I-9/1 will remain closed to all vehicular traffic throughout the event.

Drivers have been asked to take alternative routes, such as IJP Road and Warsak Road near I-9 Markaz, to steer clear of the traffic.

Besides this, Street No. 18 and the service road near Imambargah I-9/1 will also be out of bounds for traffic during the procession.
