Tariq Parvez

Tariq Parvez is a prominent Pakistani security expert and the first national coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta). He was instrumental in formulating the National Action Plan (NAP) following the tragic APS massacre in 2014, which aimed to combat terrorism and extremism in Pakistan. Parvez has been vocal about the challenges faced by Nacta in effectively implementing the NAP and emphasizes that the success in reducing terrorism is largely attributable to military operations rather than the NAP itself.
