He refused to verify any finalized names of the caretaker setup, which he claimed would only include non-political elements, having limited powers.

He underscored country , media and politicians were facing biggest challenge of terrorism. Terrorists play with the lives of innocent people by considering their views immutable and infallible immutable. Media and politicians should play their due role in war on terror otherwise they would be the major target of the terrorists, he warned.
