Recently in a Press Conference, the Inspector General of Police Munir Khan, in presence of the top brass of the Army and the CRPF offered militants to surrender. The joint forces added that miliants who wish to join the mainstream would be rehabilitated properly by the government.
This appeal was reiterated by the IGP in another presser on Monday in which he added that militants who offer surrender even during encounters will be accepted.
