PTI leader for comprehensive policy to stop drone attacks

Senior Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf leader‚ Shafqat Mahmood has said there is a need for a comprehensive policy to stop drone attacks.

Speaking at a radio Pakistan programme, Shafqat Mahmood said PTI’s perception about drone attacks is very clear that these are not containing militancy rather these are increasing militancy. He said drone attacks are serious violations of our sovereignty.

He said his party strongly condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestation.

He said we should stop drone attacks and pull out from America’s war.

He said military action should also not be ruled out but this option should be part of larger policy framekwork.

To a question‚ he said Khyber Pakhtunkhawa government on its part striving to improve law and order in the province.

Meanwhile Information minister, Pervez Rashid, talking about protest by the government on latest drone strike‚ said these attacks are against the independence and sovereignty of the country.

He said if former military ruler had allowed the US government to conduct drone strikes inside the country‚ it was not legal as he was not a legitimate ruler.

He said we will have to talk with Americans and inform them of our reservations on these strikes as people have strong sentiments against these.
