Gilani, who was delivering a talk at the high-level meeting organized for countering terrorist attacks, mentioned that the Pakistani Government if detrained for "uprooting militancy and intolerance from society and all those who challenge the writ of the state will be dealt with an iron hand".
"Failure is not an option despite the ferocity of these attacks (by the militants)," he said hours after a suicide bomber struck a strategic air force complex in Punjab province and a car bomb targeted a restaurant in Peshawar, killing eight persons and injuring nearly 30 more.
"The military operation in South Waziristan will continue till its logical conclusion," Gilani said.
He assured the people that the government "will not allow the terrorists to get away with their cowardly acts".
The meeting had senior federal ministers, provincial chief ministers and officials of the police and law enforcement agencies as participants with Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani briefing about the anti-Taliban operations happening in South Waziristan.
