Opposition Leader in the National Assembly and Secretary-General of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, has warned that the Islamist alliance would launch a protest movement if the Government did not withdraw the decision on foreign students’ expulsion from Pakistani seminaries and changed curricula of the seminaries and contemporary education, according to The News. "The government should forthwith withdraw decisions of foreign students expulsion, cases lodged against Ulema [religious scholars], courts decisions on Madaris certificates, and changes in religious and contemporary education curriculum, otherwise we will unleash a countrywide Jail Bharo Tehrik," Rehman said while addressing an Ulema convention in Islamabad on January 1. The rulers, he said, should note that Pakistan couldn’t survive without Islam and Islamic education. He linked eradication of Islamic education to the elimination of defence capabilities of the country, adding that negative propaganda had been launched to defame the seminaries and its students. "General Musharraf’s policies are demonstrating extremism. He is the sign of extremism. Politics is the name of prudence but army and uniform are the signs of war," he remarked.

Pakistan will fence its border with Afghanistan and plant landmines to stop infiltration of foreigners, according to Dawn. "There is no writ of the government in some provinces in Afghanistan bordering Pakistan and instead of tackling the situation in its own country, the Afghan government is accusing Pakistan of cross-border infiltration," Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said in Islamabad on March 9. The minister said the Government had taken the decision as a last resort to stop cross-border movement of terrorists from the neighbouring country. "We are suffering from large-scale poppy cultivation and gunrunning in Afghanistan and the Afghan government had no writ in some of its provinces to overcome the situation," he said.

Top officials of the Religious Affairs Ministry reportedly confessed before a National Assembly (NA) standing committee in Islamabad on May 2 that Pakistan was the only Muslim country where “no reliable data about exact numbers of deeni madaris (religious seminaries) is available”. Ministry officials, summoned by the NA body on religious affairs for a briefing on proposed amendments to the law to regulate the working of Madrassas, said that 10,482 seminaries have so far been registered throughout Pakistan, according to Daily Times. According to copy of the briefing given to the NA body, ministry officials said that claims by any agency in Pakistan as to the exact numbers of religious schools were mere ‘guesses’ and no reliable data was available. The officials said two parallel systems of education existed in Pakistan - general education and religious education – but there was a wide gulf between the two. At the time of Partition, Pakistan had a modest network of seminaries, but as the education sector remained neglected, religious institutions too lost state patronage and were left solely to the generosity of the private sector.

At the end of the two-day talks Home Secretary on May 31, Pakistan reportedly assured India of working towards "complete elimination" of terrorism and fighting the menace in all its forms and manifestations. The issue of terrorism was discussed "comprehensively" during the two-day talks Home Secretary V. K. Duggal had with his Pakistani counterpart Syed Kamal Shah in Islamabad, according to Press Trust of India. An unnamed Indian diplomat said that after a very lengthy deliberation Pakistan agreed to incorporate in the joint statement "the need for effective steps for complete elimination of this menace" and also to "pursue effective and sustained action against terrorists." Pakistan promised to implement its commitment in "letter and spirit," the diplomat said. The talks addressed the issue of terrorism "comprehensively," Shah told a joint press conference with Duggal, adding that the "strong language" used in the joint statement makes the intentions of the two sides very clear.

The federal government has directed the provinces to take effective measures to curb sectarianism and set up special units to eradicate terrorism. The directive was conveyed to the provinces by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz at a high-level meeting held at the Prime Minister’s Secretariat in Islamabad to review the law and order situation in the country. The government, he said, was making efforts to address the root causes of terrorism and other crimes. “It is working on creation of jobs, providing more economic opportunities and better facilities of education to people throughout the country,” he said. Jihad is an integral part of Islamic teachings and Muslim beliefs, said Education Minister Lt Gen (retd.) Javed Ashraf Qazi during a briefing on the draft of the new curricula for classes 1 to XII in Islamabad on July 24. “Jihad has many dimensions which also includes self-negation (Jihad bin nafas). We will teach students the full concept of Jihad,” the minister added.

In Islamabad, the Director-General of the Inter-Services Public Relations, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, said the report was absurd. He said, “If US intelligence agencies had detected any such thing in Balakot, they should have passed on the information to us through official channels. The area of Balakot was extensively seen by all international agencies, including NATO and the US, during the earthquake relief operation in 2005. No such training camp was spotted by them. We reject this malicious report which is aimed at undermining Pakistan’s efforts in the fight against terrorism.”

Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam dismissed reports about the presence of Taliban leadership in Pakistan, according to The News. “Taliban are in Afghanistan and the insurgency is deep inside Afghanistan, far away from Pakistan’s borders,” she said during a press briefing in Islamabad on September 25. She also rejected reports that the agreement between the tribal and local authorities in Waziristan was at the behest of the fugitive Taliban chief Mullah Omar. “It is absolutely baseless,” she said and added that the deal particularly binds the tribal from traveling across the border into Afghanistan for acts of terror. About the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, she said, “We have no information about his coordinates, we have no information whether he is dead or alive.”

President Pervez Musharraf said on October 11 that security agencies had detained militants behind two foiled rocket attacks in the capital Islamabad last week and that he may have been the target, according to Reuters. Gen. Musharraf, who survived two al Qaeda-linked assassination attempts in December 2003, said Islamist militants opposed to his support for the U.S.-led war on terrorism were responsible for the attempted rocket attacks. "We have unearthed the whole gang. They are again extremists," he said. However, he did not provide details on the arrests. Musharraf, who held a press conference in Islamabad, said: "I am not an easy target. I can't say for sure whether I was the target. Maybe I was."

President Pervez Musharraf said on November 7 that the Government would tackle militancy with force, but would also pursue peace through political means, according to Daily Times. “We will never close the option of dialogue and political settlement and it will continue despite these actions (against militants). We will undertake action wherever we find such militant activity,” the president said while chairing the day-long 99th Corps Commanders’ Conference at General Headquarters in Islamabad. Gen Musharraf briefed the conference about the Bajaur Madrassa (seminary) strike on October 30 and said that it was based on intelligence reports that the seminary was training militants and actively involved in terrorist activities. “Terrorism is a threat to our national security and it will be combated and crushed at all cost,” Inter-Services Public Relations quoted the president as saying. However, he said extreme care was being exercised to ensure that there was no loss of innocent lives or collateral damage while combating terrorists. “This was also ensured in the case

President Pervez Musharraf, while addressing a gathering of the 17th annual dinner of the Pakistani Americans Public Affairs Committee (PAK-PAC) at Islamabad on December 21, stated militancy was an Afghan problem whose solution lies in Afghanistan. This solution should be similar to the solution Pakistan was trying it in its tribal areas through political and administrative measures, he added. “Any perception being created that the problem is in Pakistan and the solution is in Pakistan, and Afghanistan happens to be only a sideshow, is absolutely opposite,” said Musharraf, by adding, “The problem is in Afghanistan and its solution lies in Afghanistan ... there is no doubt in my mind, and this is the issue.”
