title: "DG ISPR says fight against terrorism cannot be sacrificed for politics"
description: "Most outlets led with the statement by DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry that the fight against terrorism is paramount and cannot be sacrificed for political interests. Framing was largely consistent, with slight variation in phrasing — one outlet used the full quote “sacrificed at the altar of anyone’s politics,” while another used a shorter version. Both excerpts noted the ongoing debate on terrorism in Pakistan and referenced the National Action Plan, though the latter was only briefly mentioned in one outlet."
