Drone Strikes - Attacks are counter-productive: PM

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, while strongly condemning drone attacks on Thursday, said that they were counter-productive in law enforcement operations against terrorists.

Talking to Haji Muneer Ahmad Orakzai, an MNA from Fata, Gilani said that the issue was being raised at all forums to convey Pakistan’s concerns to Nato forces. The prime minister added that the government was taking concrete measures for Fata development by bringing them into mainstream politics.

Haji Muneer thanked Gilani and apprised him about gas supply schemes initiated by the federal government in all tribal agencies.
