Backing consensus
October 12, 2008 THE military leadership's decision to back the government efforts for a national consensus on counterinsurgency strategy is indeed welcome. The support was extended by the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, which met at the JCSC Headquarters on Saturday to discuss matters related to internal and external security. General Tariq Majid who presided over the meeting said the completion of political transition was a positive development as it gave the government strength required to meet the challenges facing Pakistan.
