Pakistan appling diplomatic pressure to stop drone attacks: Gilani

13 April 2011
Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday told the National Assembly that diplomatic pressure was being applied on the USA to stop drone attacks in FATA and America will have to stop it.
In reply to various issues raised by Leader of the Opposition, Ch. Nisar Ali Khan, the Prime Minister said that Pakistan was a responsible nuclear state and diplomatic channels were being used to compel the USA to stop drone attacks as these were counter-productive.He said this is the great achievement of the present coalition government to unite the whole nation in fighting against terrorism by adopting a rational strategy which isolated the terrorists and militants from the local tribal people. He said the security forces conducted the successful operation against militants. However, whenever a drone attack was carried out, it worked to unite the militants and the tribal people
