Commenting on war on terror, Nisar said that no Pakistani was involved in 9/11 attacks and the government has been fighting war of others for last eleven years.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader said that children were not attacked in any war and the attack on Malala Yousafzai was regrettable.

Responding a question he said the PML-N would not compromise on dual nationality issue however seats should be reserved for Pakistani expatriates.

Earlier, the Senate was informed that no decision has yet been taken for a military operation in North Waziristan.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik, while speaking on a point of personal explanation, said no decision has so far been taken for military operation in North Waziristan. He said such decision, if any, will be made jointly by military and political leadership.
