Punjab Police reorganized its Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in pursuance of the objectives outlined under which framework?

The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) plays a vital role in Pakistan's efforts to combat terrorism. Its reorganization reflects the country's strategic response to security threats.

The correct answer is NAP (National Action Plan). The Punjab Police reorganized its Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in pursuance of the objectives outlined under the National Action Plan (NAP). NAP was a comprehensive strategy formulated by Pakistan in 2014, following the Peshawar school attack, to eradicate terrorism and extremism. Strengthening CTDs was a key component of this plan to enhance counter-terrorism capabilities across provinces.

• Ministry of Interior is incorrect; while it oversees internal security, NAP was the specific overarching framework guiding this reorganization.
• FATF focuses on financial crimes, not direct police structural reorganization.
• UNSC (United Nations Security Council) passes resolutions, but NAP was Pakistan's domestic policy framework.
