United States plans to keep using an airstrip inside Pakistan for non-lethal drone flights against militants.

I cannot for the life of me understand why we take billions in aid from the US and then abuse it and hate it.

The UAE is not going to jeopardise its relationship with the US on our behalf.

Between the UAE and Pakistan, the base was handed over to the US and everyone looked the other way over its use.

Gilani reiterates Washington was given access to the base for surveillance purposes by previous government.

Mr Mukhtar is not famous for accurate communication of the government view.

CM Punjab says there is no doubt about the government being involved in corruption.

Says defence minister’s statement asking US to vacate Shamsi airbase was ‘just for the media’.

Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar was earlier quoted in the media stating the US had been asked to exit Shamsi base.

Defence minister says it is time to review anti-terror cooperation with Washington.
