PM backs Kayani’s statement
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Thursday offered staunch support for Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Kayani’s criticism of US raids in the Tribal Areas. Gilani said the comments reflected government policy. The prime minister also urged Pakistanis not to be ‘upset’ by comments by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, who said he had ordered a new cross-border strategy to help stamp out militant attacks in Afghanistan. “The government will take all steps to defend the country’s borders,” Gilani said. tahir niaz
