He justified the government's move to initiate full-scale operation in the region.

"Despite the sacrifices of our soldiers, we gave peace talks first priority but our efforts were rendered in vain, This operation will be the start of a peaceful beginning of the country," Sharif told the country's National Assembly as quoted by Dawn News.

Addressing the Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, the prime minister said "Our places of worship and mosques were targeted, our schools were targeted. We will change the fate of this country and under no circumstances will the country be allowed to serve as a safe haven for terrorists."

The Prime Minister said all crucial decisions were taken with mutual agreement between civilian and military leadership.
