"We have isolated terrorists with our unity and will make sure that we remain united against those who killed the innocent children," Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was quoted as saying in a statement issued by his office after he chaired the high-level meeting.
"Our fight is with the forces of hatred, violence and intolerance... We cannot betray our martyrs by giving a picture of disunity and shall win this fight as a nation," Sharif said.
Sharif told the meeting only those cases which relate to terrorists responsible for mass murder of innocent civilians, children and soldiers of law enforcement agencies will be referred to the special courts.
"Special courts are part of the national action plan and an extraordinary solution to an extraordinary problem," Sharif said.
